Archie's Joke Book Magazine #260

A sunny beach setting is all the stage Archie needs to embarrass himself in this 1979 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine. The three-panel cover gag follows Archie's bold declaration — "Watch me catch one with my foot!" — through its inevitable, frisbee-to-the-chin conclusion, much to the amusement (and alarm) of a red-haired girl in a bikini and the surrounding beach crowd. It's the kind of cheerful, self-deprecating humor that made this series a reliable source of laughs, and issue #260 delivers the punchline with perfect comic timing.
