Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #31

Reggie's smooth-talking ways are headed straight for trouble in this October 1974 entry in Archie's long-running humor series. The cover says it all — Reggie saunters up with the line "Hi, beautiful! Who am I flirting with?" only to find a very large, very unimpressed boyfriend in his path, while nearby a redhead laughs gleefully at the unfolding chaos, a blonde looks on, and the word "DISASTER!" hangs in the air like a verdict. It's a wonderfully chaotic snapshot of Reggie's perpetual overconfidence, served up in the bold, colorful style that made Archie Comics a staple of the spinner rack.
