Archie's Joke Book Magazine #265

The cover of this 1980 Archie Comics Group issue sets up a perfectly timed gag: Veronica advises Archie that his best shot at winning the school president election is with the freshman class, to which a bewildered Archie protests — "But they don't know me!" — and Veronica's deadpan reply in the second panel, "That's why!", lands with satisfying comic precision. Campaign posters and "Vote Archie" signage round out the scene, making the whole cover feel like a complete little comedy sketch in two panels. Fans of Riverdale's lighthearted humor will find this slice of 1980 Archie's Joke Book Magazine hard to pass up.
