Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #168

This March 1984 issue of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals delivers a perfectly timed winter gag, with Dan DeCarlo's cover showing three colorfully dressed skiers peering over a snowy cliff's edge as a fourth skier tumbles headfirst into a hole far below — earning the dubious distinction of being "the first skier to ever make a hole-in-one." The warm orange and yellow sky behind the snowy mountain landscape gives the scene a cheerful glow that perfectly offsets the slapstick chaos unfolding at the bottom of the slope. A fun, lighthearted pick-up for fans of Archie's classic humor and DeCarlo's endlessly charming linework.
