Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #27

This Giant-sized Archie series entry puts Reggie front and center on a sun-drenched beach, boasting to Archie about teaching girls to climb up on a surfboard — while a lifeguard stand, colorful boards, and a crowd of beachgoers back up his self-satisfied grin. Down in the corner, a cheerful blonde in a wide-brimmed smiley-face hat flashes a knowing smile, suggesting Reggie's bravado might not be landing quite the way he thinks. For 25 cents in 1973, this Giant-format dose of Riverdale humor is exactly the kind of breezy, sun-and-surf fun the series does so well.
