Archie's Joke Book Magazine #241

A winter ski slope sets the scene for pure Riverdale slapstick in this February 1978 issue, as a red-suited skier — arms and legs spread wide in a disastrous "spread eagle" — tumbles spectacularly while a group of onlookers watches the catastrophe unfold, the punchline landing hard: "Now I know why eagles are becoming extinct!" It's the kind of two-panel visual gag that made Archie's Joke Book Magazine such a reliable source of wholesome laughs throughout its run. A fun, lighthearted snapshot of late-'70s Archie humor at its most cheerfully self-deprecating.
