“Sound Off”

The cover of Pep #183, drawn and inked by Samm Schwartz, sets up a wonderfully absurd scenario at a "Glad Stamp Redemption Center," where a smitten Big Ethel — hearts floating above her head — asks the clerk how many trading stamp books it would take to redeem a date with Jughead, who stands nearby looking thoroughly horrified. It's a pitch-perfect slice of 1965 Archie humor, capturing the era's trading stamp craze with charm and comic timing that still lands today.
