Archie Annual #18

In "Fashion Passion," Archie and Reggie find themselves outshone by Lucius Peeby, the town’s self-proclaimed fashion plate whose father edits *Young Squire*. When Mr. Peeby visits the boys, their envy turns into a determined quest to match Lucius’s style—leading Archie and Reggie to scramble for funds to buy new suits. Their efforts don’t go unnoticed, and Mr. Peeby surprises them by declaring their original looks surprisingly trendy.

In "Dog Gone!", Archie’s well-meaning attempt to impress a teacher by delivering books to her home goes hilariously awry when he swaps her address with Betty’s new housewarming party location—leading to a chaotic mix-up involving a lost dog, a misplaced delivery, and a very confused Mr. Weatherbee.

In "The Pity of It All," Jughead hatches a scheme to stir up drama by suggesting a fight between Archie and Ralph, the new student, hoping Veronica will take pity on Archie and lose interest in Ralph. The plan sets off a chain of awkward moments, with everyone caught in the middle of a prank that’s harder to control than expected.

In "All Work and No Pay," Archie takes on a after-school job helping Professor Flutesnoot with a mysterious experiment, only to find the lab's most important door locked and off-limits. Naturally, curiosity gets the better of him, and soon the consequences of his meddling begin to unfold.

In "Tense and Non-Tense," Mr. Weatherbee grows frustrated when Archie and Reggie spend more time bickering than mastering proper grammar. To settle their rivalry, they flip a coin to decide who gets to pursue Veronica, but their game only ends up making her furious at both of them.

In "All Jerk and No Play," Moose is left fuming when Midge joins a Little Theatre Group, especially when she's cast in a play with harem costumes and a blonde wig. Reggie’s mistaken identity leads to a tangled web when he thinks Veronica is Midge, setting off a series of misunderstandings that leave Midge furious and Moose caught in the middle of a farcical mix-up.

In "Micro-Phoneys," Veronica, convinced Archie and Betty are engaged, decides to steal the spotlight by quickly getting engaged to the first boy she sees—Jughead. What follows is a whirlwind of mistaken intentions and classic teen chaos, all fueled by a single, misinterpreted rumor.
