“Male Call”

A sunny day at the beach sets the stage for classic Archie comedy in this 1980 issue, with Stan Goldberg's cover delivering a perfectly timed three-panel gag: Archie spots a glamorous blonde in a striped swimsuit and lets out an enthusiastic "WOW!," earning a sharp scolding from Veronica — only for the punchline to reveal the "WOW" spelled out in a toddler's building blocks. It's the kind of light, cheerful humor that made Archie's Joke Book such a staple of the series, and Goldberg captures the beach setting with breezy, sun-soaked charm. A fun pick for fans of Archie's signature mix of romance, rivalry, and good-natured embarrassment.
