Archie's Joke Book Magazine #86

This cheerful 1965 issue of Archie's Joke Book Magazine captures a perfectly relatable family moment: a beaming, round father holds up a finger to make his point — "I want my son to have all the things that I never had… like a straight-A report card!" — while a dejected Archie slumps at his desk over an open book, clearly less than thrilled. Betty and Veronica look on from the doorway, adding to the gentle comedy of the scene. At 12 cents, this issue promises a stack of laughs, including the story "Ski Tee Hee," making it a warm and witty snapshot of Riverdale humor at its most endearing.
