Archie Annual #10

In "Minus Over Matter," Archie swings by Jughead's house to collect a contribution for Reggie's gift, only to emerge with three dollars—though he confesses he’d gone in with eleven. The math doesn’t add up, and the mystery of the missing cash sets off a quiet, classic Archie-style dilemma.

In "Treat Cheat," Jughead's excitement builds when he overhears his parents planning to buy him a real jalopy, prompting a flood of treats from his friends at the Chok'lit Shop. But when his father surprises him with a scale model instead, Jughead’s hopes—and his snack stash—take a surprising turn.

In "It's For Real," Wilbur’s pride in his artistic talent is put to the test when Mr. Dripwaite praises a framed piece of his work—only for Wilbur to discover the "art" is just a crack in the plaster, now on display for all to see.

In "For Friendship's Ache," Jughead finds himself caught between loyalty and his own priorities when Archie asks for money and Reggie begs for help with algebra—both requests met with a firm no. When a salesman suggests dog leashes as a solution, Jughead’s mind starts spinning with unexpected possibilities.

In "Worry Wart," Jughead tries to save Archie and Reggie from detention by painting over their books, but his well-intentioned scheme goes hilariously awry when Mr. Weatherbee catches them with still-wet pages, landing the duo in even deeper trouble.

In "...A Few Steps More," Wilbur sets off on a determined trek three miles to the last gas station he remembers passing, only to realize too late that there was a station just ahead around the bend—his journey a comically misguided effort fueled by a simple oversight.

In "Talk of the Town," Jughead takes on a new job at the town’s latest eatery, where his natural flair for dramatic flair turns ordering lunch into a performance. With every dish, he invents increasingly imaginative descriptions, turning a simple meal into a spectacle that has everyone talking.

In "No Visitors," Bill dreams of a peaceful Sunday free from family guests—until Li'l Jinx’s well-meaning prank of putting up a "for sale" sign draws the whole neighborhood to throw a surprise farewell party, turning his quiet day into a whirlwind of chaos.

In "Late Date," Betty and Veronica catch Archie and Reggie plotting to go out on dates, so they decide to win them over with generous helpings of homemade meals—hoping a full stomach will keep the boys close.
