Hot Dog 3000

Hot Dog 3000 is a far-future version of Jughead's loyal sheepdog Hot Dog, reimagined in the sci-fi world of Archie 3000 alongside futuristic takes on the classic Riverdale gang.

A far-future twist on one of Riverdale's most beloved mascots, Hot Dog 3000 made their debut in Archie 3000 #4 in 1989, dropping into Archie Comics' playful sci-fi reimagining of the gang right at the dawn of the Copper Age. Running across nearly three decades of digest appearances alongside Archie 3000, Jughead 3000, Betty 3000, and the rest of the futuristic Riverdale crew, this character is a charming testament to just how far the Archie universe's spirit of fun can stretch — even into the distant future. A niche gem for dedicated collectors, Hot Dog 3000 is the kind of delightful curio that reminds you why digging through digest back-issues is always worth it.
