Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #23

Reggie's in full wise-guy form on this sunny waterfront cover, holding court on a motorboat alongside two young women while delivering a pointed zinger about his "shy friend" Archie — who stands on the dock looking less than amused alongside another pal. Part of Archie's Giant Series, this 1972 humor digest packs its pages with the kind of snappy one-liners Reggie Mantle was born to deliver, as the cover's punchline about brains, looks, and money sets the tone perfectly. A breezy, fun slice of Riverdale's resident schemer at his most entertainingly insufferable.
