PEP Comic #219

Pep Comic Issue 219 includes the story “Archie in Dough Woe”. Pop Tate has had it with teenagers who can't talk about anything but money, and even Betty is trying to sell him a groovy "LOVE" poster so she can afford his banana splits! When Reggie insists that not even a shrewd apple like himself is free of money troubles, Betty pins her hopes on Archie to restore Pop's faith in teenkind, only for Archie to ask for a 10¢ malted and get told to settle for plain water. But with every teen at the counter pinching pennies, will Pop ever find one kid in Riverdale who isn't thinking about money? Other stories in this issue include “Archie in Man's Best Friend”, “Li'l Jinx in Help (Un)Wanted”, “Archie in Born Free”, and more. Originally running from 1940 all the way into the '80s, PEP was the platform for Archie's first appearance in 1941 and introduced many of the Riverdale citizens that the world still follows over 80 years later.
