Archie's TV Laugh-Out #25

A lazy summer afternoon becomes its own "energy crisis" on Dan DeCarlo's sunny cover, where a boy snoozes in a hammock, a fluffy white dog naps on the lawn, and a young girl dozes nearby — with a frustrated figure and curious onlookers peering over the backyard fence at all the collective ZZZs. Starring Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch, this July 1974 issue promises the breezy, good-natured humor the Archie Series does so well, with a timely nod to the era's real-world energy concerns tucked right into the gag. At 25 cents, it's a cheerful snapshot of mid-'70s Riverdale-adjacent fun.
