Archie's TV Laugh-Out #28

This October 1974 issue delivers exactly the kind of cheerful absurdity the series does best: Veronica is enthusiastically rallying Archie, Betty, Jughead, and the rest of the gang to head to the flea market, while Hot Dog — relaxing by his doghouse — scratches himself and wonders in a thought bubble, "Why would anyone want to buy fleas?" The cover art by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick captures that warm, breezy Riverdale energy perfectly, with a bonus banner-top nod to Sabrina the Teen-Age Witch and The Archies band. At just 25 cents, this one pairs a genuinely funny visual punchline with a full roster of beloved characters.
