Archie... Archie Andrews, Where Are You? Comics Digest Magazine #17

When a sudden snowstorm shuts down the district, Archie and the gang ignore the radio warning—only to find themselves stranded inside the school when the buses don’t come. With the power flickering and the halls echoing, their usual chaos takes a chilly turn as they try to pass the time until someone notices they’re still there.

In "The Meanest Girl in Town," Veronica Lodge finds herself at odds with a tough-talking teen who claims to be collecting for charity—only to see her skepticism harden when the girl gets hurt. What starts as a sharp-tongued showdown takes a surprising turn when Veronica uncovers the girl’s family is struggling, forcing her to rethink her judgment and step in with an unexpected act of generosity.

Archie Andrews is desperate to take Veronica to a concert, but cash is tight—until Reggie steps in with a wild idea: Mr. Lodge will pay ten dollars for a carload of recycled pop cans. With little time and even less hope, Archie sets off on a mission that’s equal parts hustle and high school comedy, all while trying to keep his promise to Veronica.

Archie’s in trouble—Veronica’s threatening to end their relationship unless he reveals the secret black book where he’s been jotting down the gang’s deepest confessions. With the real book still hidden and a fake one already sent off, Archie’s about to hand over the truth… until he realizes he can turn the tables by playing on his friends’ own fears of exposure.

In "Who Is Sybil Floon?", Archie Andrews tries to win Veronica’s favor by playing the part of a practical, budget-conscious suitor—so committed to the role that he resorts to using a birthday cake from a deceased woman’s funeral. The story unfolds with the kind of deadpan humor Archie comics do best, as Archie’s increasingly desperate attempts to be frugal lead to awkward encounters and one very confused date.

When Archie, Betty, and Veronica are chased off by the new neighbors’ fierce dog, Betty insists on making amends—only to vanish into the house’s basement, leaving Archie and Veronica to unravel the mystery of what really happened to her.

In "My Hero!", Archie is sent on a seemingly simple errand by Veronica to fetch a ten-foot sub for her party—only to find himself side-swiped by Jughead’s endless appetite and distraction. With the deli just a few blocks away, the journey quickly spirals into a chaotic race against time, all while Jughead insists on stopping for every snack in sight.
