Archie's Joke Book Magazine #54

A drama rehearsal takes a decidedly romantic turn on this charming 1961 cover, where Betty and Archie are caught mid-smooch on the sofa while an unsuspecting drama coach praises Betty's "acting" — hearts floating in the air tell a different story. A darkly-clad Veronica stands in the doorway with arms crossed, her exasperated "Who's acting?" balloon summing up the situation perfectly. It's the kind of warmly comedic love-triangle moment that made Archie's Joke Book Magazine such a delight, and this issue promises plenty more laughs inside.
