“Romantic Antic”

The beach has never looked more chaotic for Riverdale's most sought-after redhead — this three-panel cover by Stan Goldberg captures Archie caught hilariously between Veronica's furious "I'll never talk to you again!" and Betty's cheerful offer to fill the void, before Veronica has a very convenient change of heart. Issue #280 of Archie's Joke Book Magazine delivers that breezy, sun-soaked comedy the series does so well, with the eternal Betty-Veronica-Archie triangle playing out in perfect visual shorthand right on the cover. At just 50 cents in 1981, it's a genuinely fun slice of Archie Comics charm.
