Archie's Joke Book Magazine #60

A delightful slice of early-'60s holiday mischief, this February 1962 issue of Archie's Joke Book Magazine features a wonderfully chaotic Christmas cover: Santa Claus is hauling a massive gift sack that's accidentally scooping up a wide-eyed Archie right off the floor, while a delighted Betty looks on beside a fully decorated Christmas tree — and a tag on one of the presents reads "To Betty." The warm yuletide setting, complete with a crackling fireplace and hanging stocking, perfectly captures the lighthearted comic energy that made this series such a treat. With lettering by Bill Yoshida and a story titled "Sky Bye," this issue is a cheerful reminder of why Archie's Joke Book kept readers grinning through the 1962 holiday season.
