Reggie's Wise Guy Jokes #51
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeReggie Mantle is in peak form in this 1979 installment of his long-running humor title, and the cover sets the tone perfectly: Reggie and Veronica share a canoe on a sun-dappled lake, where Reggie's confession of a "big inferiority complex" leads — naturally — to his triumphant conclusion that he "didn't realize how magnificent I really am." Cover pencils by Stan Goldberg and inks by Jon D'Agostino give the two-panel gag a breezy, warm charm that suits Riverdale's self-appointed wise guy to a tee. At just 40 cents, this is lighthearted Archie Comics humor doing exactly what it does best.

Reggie comments to Jughead that he'd like to date Midge. When Jughead says that there are easier ways to commit suicide, Reggie tells Jughead that he isn't afraid of Moose (and thinks "especially when he's not around"). Midge tells Reggie not to hang around because Moose is in the area. Reggie tells Midge to forget that big ox and let him take her out. Midge asks Reggie how he can take her out when he's going to be in the hospital for the next three weeks. When Reggie asks since when is he going to be in the hospital, Midge says "since the big ox heard you ask me out".
