Archie #102

In "Blackboard Blues!" from Archie #102 (1959), Miss Grundy faces a classroom full of daydreaming students, until Mr. Weatherbee suggests that maybe what teens really care about is television. With that spark, she tries a new approach to grab their attention—though how she plans to turn the classroom into a show remains a mystery.

In "Well Attired," Archie stumbles upon a pearl necklace in a city dump while searching for a tire, then enlists Jughead’s help to stage a more glamorous origin story for Veronica. When the plan backfires and a jewelry store detective mistakes them for shoplifters, Archie’s attempt to impress Veronica takes a hilariously awkward turn.

In "Gone to the Dogs," Reggie’s prank of hiding a rabbit in Jughead’s desk backfires when Mr. Weatherbee appoints him game warden to stop students from bringing pets to school—complete with a whistle. Jughead, ever the prankster, swaps the whistle for an ultra-sonic one, setting off a chaotic canine invasion when Reggie blows it.

In "Hair Pressure," Archie finds himself caught in a whirlwind of teasing after being sent by Veronica to pick up a package from René's Beauty Shoppe. The moment Reggie and Betty spot him leaving, the rumors fly—leading to a day at school where Archie’s every move is met with playful (and merciless) mockery.
