Archie's Joke Book Magazine #232

This May 1977 issue of Archie's Joke Book Magazine delivers the lighthearted humor the series does best, with a two-panel cover gag set in a school hallway where a confident Archie assures his bespectacled pal Dilton that there's "only ONE WAY to handle girls" — only to sheepishly admit in the bottom panel that he wishes he knew what that way was. Veronica, Betty, and other Riverdale students populate the colorful corridor scene, giving the whole cover that warm, breezy energy perfectly suited to a 30-cent afternoon read.
