Archie #343

Archie’s dad gives him one last chance to clean his room before his date with Veronica—no excuses. He tries the classic closet-overload tactic, but gets sidetracked by a stack of old photos and a forgotten video game, leaving the mess more tangled than ever.

When news spreads that Archie has a new swimming pool, the whole gang swarms his house, determined to fill his small above-ground pool to the brim. Meanwhile, Veronica offers a more relaxed escape—taking Archie, Jughead, and Archie’s dad to her much larger pool, where they can actually swim in peace.

Archie tries to boost his cool factor by installing a fake phone in his car, but his ruse starts to unravel when Veronica hops in and demands to use the "phone" — and expects it to actually work.

Archie’s trying to keep things tidy while tutoring kids—until his dad accidentally grabs the wrong envelope from the hall table, setting off a chain of mishaps during a surprise tax audit. With a mix of awkward timing and classic Archie chaos, one misplaced paper threatens to unravel more than just a routine visit.
