Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #11

Reggie Mantle is in full scheming mode on the cover of this 1970 Archie Giant Series entry, where he confidently promises a girl a shot at the movies — only for the punchline to play out at the theater's candy counter, where a "Girl Wanted" sign tells the real story. The Archies band appears in the background of the middle panel, adding a fun pop flavor to Reggie's big talk. It's a perfectly structured comic setup across three panels that captures everything lovable and insufferable about Riverdale's resident wise guy.
