Jughead #171

This August 1969 Archie Comics gem puts Jughead center stage with his trusty camera on a tripod, caught in a perfectly timed gag — he tells Archie and a blonde companion that photography is his "same old hobby," before the punchline lands: he's really using it to hide from Big Ethel, who comes bounding into frame with a small dog in tow. Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures the whole comedy in two breezy panels, while the top strip adds another layer of chaos with Hot Dog making off with someone's sandwich. Pure Riverdale fun from cover to corner.
