Fun AND Laughs

In 1955, Rock n Roll hadn’t quite made it onto a list like this! The ‘NOW That’s What I Call Music’ of the early to mid-50’s!

This has disaster written all over it…

And an Archie Blueprint for High School of the Future!

None of these made it!

I don’t remember ever being much interested in these ‘fun pages’, though by the 

1970’s they were pretty much a thing of the past…

And here’s our Undercover Archie ‘You Won’t See This in Today’s Archie’!

Archie CORRECTLY obeying Veronica’s ‘No Means No’ and then Veronica 

protesting that he gave up too easily!  

It was a different era….

Another Undercover Archie ‘You Won’t See This in Today’s Archie’! With

Jughead taking a Cooking Class and Archie and Reggie making fun of

him. Archie even calls him a ‘Sissy’! LOL

But actually its genius when you consider the endless stomach of Jughead,

that for some reason here ISN’T so endless…
