Cricket O'Dell

Cricket O'Dell is a recurring character in Archie Comics who first appeared in 1963. She is a classmate at Riverdale High School best known for her uncanny ability to smell money, instantly sensing wealth on anyone nearby.

Cricket O'Dell has one of the most delightfully specific superpowers in the Archie universe — an uncanny nose for money — and since her Silver Age debut in Archie #139 (1963), courtesy of the legendary creative team of Frank Doyle and Harry Lucey, she's been a charming recurring presence in Riverdale's sun-drenched world. Over nearly six decades of publication, she's kept exceptional company, sharing pages with Betty, Veronica, Archie, Reggie, and Jughead across titles like Veronica and Archie Showcase Digest. She may not rack up appearances like the core gang, but that's part of her appeal — Cricket is Riverdale's delicious secret, a character whose devoted fans know they're in on something special.
