Pep #206

Archie's "jungle party" idea clearly didn't land with the girls — as this Dan DeCarlo cover for June 1967 makes hilariously plain, with Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl unamused in full gorilla suits while Archie, dressed in caveman gear alongside Veronica in a tropical costume, cheerfully wonders aloud why they're not thrilled with the outfits he provided. A safari-hatted figure looks on near the palm trees as a tub of coconut juice sits untouched, painting a perfectly chaotic picture of Riverdale social planning gone sideways. Bob Bolling handles the interior story duties — writing, drawing, and inking — making this a genuine one-creator showcase alongside letterer Marty Epp.
