Pep #374

Pep #374 brings the Riverdale gang together in fine 1981 form, with the full ensemble crowded cheerfully around the bold series logo up top. The real comedy plays out below, where Veronica asks her father if the "boob tube is out," only for Archie — slumped in front of a flickering TV set — to earn the punchline that the tube may be gone but the boob is very much still present. It's a charming snapshot of the era's humor, with cover art by Stan G. capturing that warm, breezy Archie Comics energy perfectly.
