Archie's Joke Book Magazine #269

The roller-skating craze of 1980 gets a perfectly timed send-up on this two-panel cover by Stan Goldberg, where Archie wobbles past a park fountain on skates — confidently declaring he's trying to get the attention of those girl skaters — only to end up completely soaked in the fountain as the girls look on and deliver the punchline: "You succeeded!" It's the kind of good-natured, groan-worthy gag that made Archie's Joke Book such a reliable treat, and Goldberg's bright, expressive linework captures every splash and humiliated grin. A fun snapshot of the era, packed with the lighthearted humor the series does best.
