Archie's Joke Book Magazine #26

From the January 1957 Archie Series comes this cheerful installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine, a four-panel gag strip playing out right on the cover. Set in Riverdale's school cafeteria, Jughead reads a health article warning that overeating cuts ten years off a person's life — and his reaction, rendered in a hilariously exaggerated close-up, is pure panic, before Archie delivers the perfect punchline: quit reading, not eating. It's a warm slice of mid-century Archie humor, lighthearted and perfectly timed at just ten cents.
