Archie #299

In "Late Date," Archie finds himself on a surprise date with Veronica’s snobby cousin Cynthia, set up with the expectation of awkward tension—but instead, Cynthia surprises everyone by enjoying the simple pleasures of a road trip in Archie’s jalopy, sharing hot dog dinners, and even helping fix a flat.

In "Parlor Games," Archie stumbles upon a way to elevate both Pop Tate's and Gaston's ice cream, sparking a playful idea from Jughead that could turn Archie's sweet talent into something bigger. With a mix of charm and classic teen energy, the story explores a lighthearted moment where friendship and frozen treats collide.

In "Little White Lie," Archie tries to dodge a fashion show by fibbing to Veronica over the phone, but Mr. Andrews won’t play along—until Uncle Flapjore unexpectedly calls, needing to speak with Fred, throwing Archie’s plan into chaos.

Archie’s dreading the new school year—until a fresh wave of energy hits the halls. With new cheers to learn, a hand with fall registration, and a surprise introduction to three foreign exchange students from Miss Grundy, things start to look up.
