Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #36

This January 1976 entry in Archie's long-running humor digest puts Reggie front and center — literally perched atop the title lettering — while the cover panels below deliver a perfectly timed gag: Reggie tells Archie that a stray dog looks just like him, sparking outrage from Veronica and a sheepish apology from Archie to the dog himself. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils give the whole thing that warm, instantly recognizable Riverdale energy that made these joke books such a reliable good time for a quarter.
