Pep #388

Pep #388 brings the Riverdale gang's restaurant misadventures to vivid life on this cheerful 1983 cover penciled and inked by Stan Goldberg. The central scene shows Archie confessing to Veronica near a telephone booth that he forgot to tip on their last visit — just as chaos erupts at the bottom of the cover with a resounding "KRASH!" sending a hapless waiter and dishes flying. Small vignettes around the edges add even more slapstick energy, promising the kind of warm, character-packed humor that made Pep a reliable delight for Archie fans.
