Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #151

The Riverdale gang's scholastic struggles take center stage on Stan Goldberg's cheerful cover for this 1981 installment of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals. Betty, juggling a History textbook, reacts with exasperation to an older man reading a newspaper aloud — his claim that females control most of the nation's wealth is met with her sharp retort that they also wind up with most of the homework, while Archie looks on with his Algebra book in tow and Jughead sulks nearby. It's the kind of warm, witty domestic comedy that made this series such a dependable treat.
