Everything's Archie #37

The whole Riverdale gang looks to be having a chaotic afternoon on this December 1974 cover, where Archie — football in hand and wearing his number 5 jersey — marvels at Betty's surprisingly effective blocking technique as she plows through a crowd that includes Jughead, Reggie, and Veronica. Betty's punchline says it all: her skills were forged in the crucible of department store sales, which is exactly the kind of humor that made this digest series so endearing. It's a cheerful, energetic snapshot of the gang at their best, with the familiar Riverdale school grounds in the background tying it all together.
