Archie's Joke Book Magazine #28
"Acro-Batty" is a classic slice of slapstick humor from Archie's Joke Book Magazine #28, a 1957 10-cent comic where Tom Moore—writing, drawing, inking, and lettering all by himself—delivers a perfectly timed gag centered on a misheard record and a clumsy fall. When Reggie cranks up a "Bop" record and starts dancing, Archie’s protest leads to a comedic tumble down the stairs, with the punchline hiding in plain sight.
