Archie's Joke Book Magazine #242

A snowy day sets up the punchline perfectly on this 1978 issue, as Archie reads his horoscope and declares "I will rule today!" — only for the joke to pay off in the bottom panel, where his Drafting Class teacher urges him to "keep ruling" with a straightedge. The two-panel gag format showcases exactly what made Archie's Joke Book Magazine such a fun read, delivering a groan-worthy wordplay joke right on the cover itself. Whether you're a longtime Riverdale fan or just stumbled across this charming slice of late-'70s humor, issue #242 is a cheerful reminder of the series at its playful best.
