Archie Annual #3

In "Birthday Blues," Archie finds himself caught between two very different handmade sweaters—each gifted by a different girl, each with a very clear message: wear it to the big game, or face the consequences.

In "The Bug House," Betty and Veronica brave the summer heat and a surprising swarm of mosquitoes while trying to settle into the Lodge's lakeside cabin. With makeshift fans and quick thinking, the girls face off against the buzzing invaders in a battle of wits and endurance.

In "The Infernal Triangle," Archie finds himself tangled in a classic teen dilemma when a mix-up with invisible ink leads Betty to believe she’s his date to the magic show—only to discover he’s also promised a second date. With both girls determined to claim his attention, chaos unfolds as Archie tries to keep the peace, all while the magic show’s finale promises a surprise that could change everything.

In "Fielder's Choice," Jughead Jones finds himself reluctantly drafted onto the school baseball team after Coach Kleats mistakes his rug-beating prowess for athletic talent. His seemingly impossible catches raise eyebrows, leaving teammates and coaches alike wondering if luck—or something more—is at play.

In "Of Bikes and Books," Wilbur finds himself in a mad dash across town on his trusty bicycle, racing to the hospital after a mix-up between a rare first edition from Commodore Lake and a stack of donated books leaves him scrambling to set things right. With time running out and the fate of a cherished gift hanging in the balance, his journey becomes a whirlwind of chaos and determination.

In "Feeble Fem!", Ginger takes Mr. Snapp’s concerns about her safety seriously and enlists Ickky to teach her self-defense—just in case. With a mix of nervous energy and determination, she dives into training, hoping to prove she’s more than just a little bit feisty.

Archie and the gang are enjoying a windy day at the beach when a sudden gust sends Veronica’s cabana flying—Archie quickly secures it to some wood, only to have the wind steal their canasta cards next. With the tide rolling in, they’re forced to finish the game inside the flimsy shelter, but the rising water soon carries the cabana out to sea, leaving them stranded in the middle of the surf.

In "How Now Brown Cow," Archie is sent by Mr. Weatherbee to retrieve a scow for garbage duty—only to return with a cow instead. After the farmer refuses to take it back, Archie tries to pass the cow off to his parents, then to Veronica, each attempt leading to more chaos.

Archie tries to study hard for a test he absolutely must pass to earn a raise in his allowance, but his so-called study buddy Reggie has other plans—offering misleading advice that’s more sabotage than support. With the stakes high and the clock ticking, Archie’s caught between genuine preparation and a prank that could cost him big.

In "Caught With His Plans Down!", Archie’s father says he can’t play golf tomorrow because he’s swamped with chores. When Archie overhears, he quickly cancels his plans and offers to handle all the work himself—just so his dad can finally get out on the course. Fred isn’t buying it, though, and isn’t about to let his son’s sudden generosity fool him.
