Archie Comics #36

When Archie accidentally swaps coats with Mr. Lodge and discovers a stolen necklace in the pocket of the borrowed sport coat, he's convinced he's committed a crime—despite having done nothing wrong. Now he’s caught in a panic, racing to clear his name before the truth is mistaken for guilt.

In "He Masked for It," Jughead takes the plate as umpire for a kids’ baseball game, only to get smacked on the head by a foul ball—prompting him to improvise a mask to shield his crown. The moment turns surprisingly serious as he adjusts to his new headgear, turning a simple game into something far more personal.

In "Hose Who," Archie is sent by Veronica to fetch a garden hose, only to spark a misunderstanding when Midge mishears and thinks he means nylon stockings. The mix-up leads Moose on an awkward errand to a lingerie shop, where his visit quickly becomes the talk of the whole gang.

In "Turn on the Eat!", Archie challenges Reggie to a bet: that there's nothing Jughead won’t eat. The trio heads to the Jones house, only to find Jughead has already made a meal of wallpaper paste and a taxidermy fish—leaving the bet in question, and the stomachs of everyone involved, thoroughly tested.

In "Odd Man Out," Red suggests a game to decide who’ll give up their seat in Wilbur’s car to make room for Laurie—only for the rules to backfire in a way no one saw coming. What starts as a lighthearted shuffle quickly turns into an unexpected twist when Wilbur finds himself on the outside looking in.
