Archie Annual #18

In this lighthearted 1966 gem from Archie Annual #18, Betty tries to charm Archie with a sweet alphabet song praising him—A is for Archie, R is for...—only to have Reggie quickly counter with his own hilariously unflattering twist. The playful rivalry takes a funny turn as the usual teen antics unfold in just five pages of classic Archie humor.

In this lighthearted 1966 tale from Archie Annual #18, Archie finds himself on a teen TV show where he’s asked to share what every girl should know—only to accidentally reveal his true feelings through a list of likes and dislikes that perfectly match Betty and Veronica. The moment he’s off camera, he declines a free dinner with Betty, opting instead for a date with Veronica, leaving the audience (and readers) to wonder if the truth was ever really in the spotlight.

In "Bam da Bam Bam," Archie and Reggie’s latest brawl lands them in the newly formed Student Council Human Relations Court, only to find Jughead presiding—meaning chaos is guaranteed. With Mr. Weatherbee hoping for order, the courtroom quickly descends into absurdity, proving that even the most serious settings can’t tame the gang’s trademark antics.

In "Quick Trick!" from Archie Annual #18 (1966), Archie groans over his homework, only to have his dad deliver a wry prediction: one day, finishing school will feel as fast as snapping his fingers.

In "The Subject," Betty’s abstract portrait of Archie causes a stir at the school gallery, leaving Archie both bewildered and eager to reclaim it. When he buys the painting to remove it from public view, he surprises everyone—especially himself—by displaying it in his room with a surprisingly thoughtful twist.
