Archie's Joke Book Magazine #258

The cover of this 1979 Archie Comics entry tells its gag in three perfectly timed panels: Archie confidently quips that "one good thing about playing TV baseball is you can't be thrown out of a game," while a heavyset man reads his Riverdale News nearby — then all chaos erupts with triumphant "Yahoo!"s and horrified "Oh, no!"s as the TV set apparently meets its fate, and the punchline lands with a deflated Archie being told, "You were wrong, Archie!" It's the kind of setup-and-payoff humor that made Archie's Joke Book such a reliable laugh for readers of the era. A fun, light-hearted slice of Riverdale comedy at just 40 cents.
