Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #153

A sunny beach setting frames this 1981 installment of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals, with a two-panel cover gag that captures Jughead at his most relatable — first declaring to a bookish pal that "Beautiful girls don't bother me," then watching helplessly as Archie lounges happily between Betty and Veronica and admitting "…But I sure wish they would!" Stan G.'s clean, expressive linework brings the whole Riverdale gang to life under a warm coastal sky, with the comedy landing perfectly in that classic Archie rhythm. A cheerful, lighthearted read that showcases everything fans love about this long-running anthology series.
