Archie's TV Laugh-Out #83

At a sunny beach sand sculpture contest, Archie kneels proudly over his elaborate creation — only to have Reggie coolly deliver a devastating one-liner about it in the speech bubbles above. Betty looks on with a grin while Veronica, hand on hip, plays straight-woman to the gag, all rendered with Stan G.'s breezy, good-natured linework. This 1981 entry in Archie's TV Laugh-Out captures the series at its cheerful best — lighthearted rivalry, a little beach humor, and that warm ensemble charm the Archie Comics Group always delivered so well.
