Archie's Joke Book Magazine #285

Stan Goldberg's cover for this 1982 installment of Archie's Joke Book lays out the laughs in comic-strip panel form, following Archie and the Riverdale gang through a series of comedic moments — including a diner scene where a dreamy stranger draws swooning admiration, a close-up of a bemused Archie insisting nothing that good could exist right there in Riverdale, and a scramble to score tickets for a "Rod Stowit" concert playing "Tonite." It's a cheerful, gag-packed snapshot of small-town teen life rendered with Goldberg's warm, expressive linework. At 60 cents, this issue offers the kind of light-hearted Riverdale humor that made the Joke Book a reliable favorite.
