Archie's Joke Book Magazine #46

The cover of this 1960 Archie Series gem sets up a perfectly timed gag: Archie is on the phone laying on the charm thick — "Hello, dream doll! Vision of loveliness... Goddess of glamour..." — while the woman on the receiving end, standing in her housecoat by the foyer telephone, looks thoroughly startled and flustered. A framed portrait of Veronica visible near Archie hints at exactly who he thinks he's calling, making the comedic mix-up all the more delightful. At just a dime, Archie's Joke Book Magazine #46 delivers the kind of cheerful, wholesome humor that made this series a staple of 1960s comic racks.
