This is Archie’s Pal Jughead, Volume 2 #61, published in October of 1994. It’s got a one page story called Wheel Speil that has skateboarding as the main gag despite being mostly arm candy. Wheel Spiel is used as a title in at least two other comic books (Reggies Wise Guy Jokes #47 – 1978, Archie and Me #148 – 1988) in the Archie universe, and none of the stories are the same. There’s also a sales club ad with a chance to earn a Nash Beach Bum skateboard.

Wheel Spiel – Not to be confused with the couple of stories in the Archie universe titled “Wheel Zeal.”
The old Sales Leadership Club.
Detail.
Here’s a Nash Beach Bum, one of their better graphics actually. The one in the ad appears to have a blunt nose. If you look at the pic, the graphic looks like it’s chopped off at the nose, implying this version came after the blunt nose. Gotta love the top. They must have sprayed the glue on the deck through a stencil and poured the grit on top.
Let’s get look at this endorsement, just for the heck of it. Child labor!
