Pep #399

A perfectly timed winter gag graces this March 1985 issue of Pep, with Dan DeCarlo's cover showing a bundled-up adult — briefcase in hand, scarf flying — striding across a snow-covered rooftop while delivering the punchline "Whatever gave you the idea that I might cancel school today?" Three kids in full winter gear look on from below, clearly hoping for a snow day that isn't coming. It's the kind of cheerful, relatable humor that made Archie Comics Group a staple of the spinner rack, and "Winterruptions" sounds like it delivers more of the same warmth inside.
