Archie's Joke Book Magazine #248

The cover of this 1978 issue says it all — Archie proudly presents a gift-wrapped box to a delighted blonde outside the Candy Shoppe, only for the punchline to land in the panels below: he remembered her birthday and her favorite candy, but forgot his wallet, leaving him scrambling to borrow five dollars on the spot. It's a perfectly timed three-panel gag that captures everything charming about Archie's well-meaning but perpetually flustered brand of romance. "Borrow Sorrow" sounds about right — fans of light-hearted humor will find plenty to enjoy in this cheerful slice of Riverdale comedy.
