Pep #376

Pep #376 brings the Riverdale gang's suburban comedy to a shoe store, where a determined young girl points a video camera at her exasperated father while making her case for a bigger allowance — prompting his deadpan groan that he's now getting "commercials from his own family." A second figure browses the shoe displays in the background, and the Archie crowd — rendered in their classic beach attire — frames the title logo up top with their usual sunny energy. It's a charming slice of early-'80s family humor that perfectly captures the era's home-video craze through the lens of Archie Comics' warm, light-hearted style.
