Archie #124
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Dog's Best Friend," Jughead discovers a silly but clever gadget—a bean-bouncer, a balloon tied to a headband and elastic that bounces off the wearer’s head—and soon, Archie and Reggie are both inspired to use it in their own pranks. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Terry Szenics and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1961 classic captures the playful chaos of Riverdale with a touch of inventive mischief. The cover by Bob White perfectly captures the lighthearted spirit of the issue.
In "Use Your Head!" from Archie #124 (1961), Jughead’s latest invention—a bean-bouncer, a balloon on a headband that bounces off his skull—sparks a prank war when both Archie and Reggie decide to use the same gadget for their own schemes. With a mix of classic teen mischief and classic Archie chaos, the trio’s antics take a bouncy turn.
In "To Bee or Not to Bee!", Jughead attempts to brew a potion from an old magic book, only to send Archie tumbling out a window when it explodes—leading Jughead to panic and believe his friend has been transformed into a bee. The chaos unfolds with classic Archie humor as the gang scrambles to figure out what went wrong, all while the real mystery of Archie’s disappearance remains.
