Archie's Joke Book Magazine #94

A sunny beach setting frames this November 1965 installment of Archie's Joke Book Magazine, as a dark-haired girl in a red bikini and oversized slit sunglasses lounges on the sand beside a perplexed, shirtless Archie. She's asking whether her new shades give her an air of mystery — and his deadpan reply that it's a mystery how she can see out of them at all sets the perfectly breezy, lighthearted tone you'd expect from this series. Samm Schwartz brings his clean, expressive linework to both the art and lettering, making this a fun snapshot of Riverdale humor at its most carefree.
