Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #204

Winter hijinks are front and center on this 1989 installment of Archie's Pals 'n' Gals, with Dan DeCarlo's cover depicting Betty and Veronica thoroughly distracted by a handsome ski instructor — skis in hand, red sweater and all — while Archie has apparently taken a tumble on the ice rink behind them, much to the amusement of onlookers. The speech bubbles say it all: someone's asking if anyone else has fallen, and the answer is a resounding "Yeah!" — though Betty and Veronica seem to have fallen in a rather different sense. It's a warmly funny snapshot of Riverdale's gang at their most charmingly chaotic, brought to life with DeCarlo's effortlessly expressive linework.
