Pep #314

Pep #314 brings the whole Riverdale gang to the cover — Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead, and more crowd the masthead in their mid-'70s finest. The real fun unfolds below, where Veronica asks Archie what transportation he's providing for tonight's dance, and his answer — "Eight Wheel Drive!" — becomes immediately clear in the second panel as both he and Veronica roll up in roller skates, her expression shifting from curiosity to exasperated surprise. It's a perfectly timed gag that captures everything breezy and charming about Archie comics at their 1976 best.
