Archie's Joke Book Magazine #276

Stan Goldberg's three-panel cover tells the whole joke at a glance: Archie is lounging in bed claiming he's too sick for school, but the moment his mom mentions a handsome boy talking to Veronica, he's up and out the door in a blur. It's a perfectly timed bit of visual comedy that captures everything fans love about Archie's priorities — and his mom's knowing expression in each panel is half the fun. A cheerful 1981 entry in this long-running humor series, priced at just 50 cents for a book full of laughs.
