Archie's Joke Book Magazine #256

This 1979 entry in Archie's long-running humor anthology delivers a three-panel cover gag set entirely in a health food restaurant, where Archie, Veronica, Betty, and a mortified Reggie square off over a Health Food Menu. The joke builds panel by panel — "I believe you are what you eat!" leads to "That explains it!" and finally the punchline that "Reggie must be on a steady diet of turkey!" — with Reggie's embarrassed cringe making the payoff genuinely funny. Samm Schwartz handles the art, inks, and lettering throughout, giving the cover that crisp, expressive Riverdale charm the series does so well.
