The file I used was named
Laugh (1946) Comics 36 Archie Dec 1949 15pp [one story reprint].
The file was dated Jul 2008, so it probably is a different version
(obviously I renamed it ). My memory is that someone scanned a book and
then posted partial comics (typically a small cover and a single story)
as a placeholder.
I have similar files for Laugh 25 and 27, and B&V 18, 30 and 53. Seems
to me I also had similar things for some Archies until the recent
digital posts.
