Pep #246

The Riverdale Fair's "Goofy Goggle Contest" takes center stage on this Dan DeCarlo cover, where Veronica — decked out in outrageous novelty specs — hopefully asks Betty whether she has a shot at winning, only to get a hilariously deflating reply. Meanwhile, Archie and Reggie stroll in sporting their own ridiculous goggle contraptions, while a close-up of Jughead's goggle-wearing date steals the foreground with a gleeful grin. It's a wonderfully breezy slice of 1970 Riverdale fun, capturing the lighthearted charm that made Archie Series titles so consistently enjoyable.
