Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #163

The cover of this 1983 entry in the long-running anthology series sets up a delightfully absurd gag: Archie cheerfully informs a stuffy maître d' that he already phoned in his take-out order — at what the caption proudly declares the "Poshest Fast-Food Place in Town." Stan Goldberg's pencils and inks bring the joke to life with that signature warm expressiveness, from the candlelit dining room to the violin-serenaded takeout counter where Archie and a couple of friends collect their bag. The busy, crowd-filled border surrounding the central panels is a fun reminder of just how lively Riverdale's cast has always been.
