Archie's Joke Book Magazine #262

This 1979 entry in Archie's long-running humor series delivers a cover gag that practically writes its own punchline — Archie and Jughead confidently tell a fuming authority figure they have "the fish to prove it," only to land squarely in the Detention Room where Jughead wryly suggests Archie let him handle the talking next time. The two-panel setup-and-payoff layout captures everything that makes these Joke Book issues so enjoyable: that perfect mix of breezy teen mischief and inevitable consequences. A fun, lighthearted slice of Riverdale life at just 40 cents.
