Reggie and Me #96

The Lodge living room becomes an unintentionally perfect comedy stage in this 1977 installment of Reggie and Me, as Archie nervously wonders why Mr. Lodge keeps staring at him — only for Reggie to smirk that the old man simply collects wooden heads. Mr. Lodge sits serenely in his armchair reading the paper, surrounded by an eclectic wall of carved masks, blissfully unaware of the joke at his expense. It's the kind of warm, witty Riverdale humor that made this series such a reliable treat at 30 cents.
