Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #172

Dan DeCarlo's cover for this November 1984 issue is pure Riverdale energy — Archie and Veronica lead a crowd of teens in a full-on dance party, with balloons, streamers, and musical notes filling the air around them. A shaggy dog in the corner delivers the punchline with a wry thought bubble: "When I jiggle like that, they shake flea powder on me!" Inside, writer George Gladir and artist Hy Eisman serve up the story "Take a Hike!" — a fine addition to any Archie collection at the original 60-cent cover price.
