Archie's TV Laugh-Out #76

Archie and Jughead are elbow-deep in a hot rod's engine, joking that it should run on something they have a plentiful supply of — "excuses and alibis!" — while a skeptical, well-dressed adult looks on from over the fence in this cheerful 1980 entry in the long-running Archie's TV Laugh-Out series. Gasahol and water jugs, scattered tools, and a cluttered driveway set the perfectly relatable scene, brought to life on the cover by Stan Goldberg's clean, expressive linework. At 40 cents, it's a friendly slice of Riverdale humor that also spotlights the Archies band and Sabrina in the title banner — plenty of familiar faces before you even crack it open.
