Archie Comics #73

In "Play As You Go," Archie channels his inner Liberace as "Liber-Archie" for a school talent show, counting on Jughead to play the piano from backstage. Reggie, determined to ruin the act, throws every obstacle he can think of—only to see the chaos turn into a hilarious, crowd-pleasing performance that earns Archie and Jughead first prize.

In "Flood of Advice," Archie learns the hard way that following Veronica’s instructions—like packing an umbrella and wearing rubber boots—might not be such a bad idea. When Reggie teases him for the outfit, Archie ditching both, only to get soaked on his way to their date, leaving him drenched and late.

In "Cute Numbers," Betty and Veronica trade playful whispers over a math problem—only to spin it into a game of picking football players by their jersey numbers for a party. When Mr. Weatherbee interrupts, they smoothly deflect, claiming they're just hunting for "cute numbers" among the team.

In a lighthearted twist on teenage rivalry, Archie, Reggie, and Jughead go head-to-head in a hobby shop class showdown—each crafting a model with increasingly elaborate designs, only to find their creations mysteriously sabotaged. As tempers flare and teamwork gives way to chaos, the competition takes a sudden, very physical turn.

In "Lover-Come Back," Veronica’s sudden shift from Archie to Reggie sends the usual teen drama into overdrive. Jughead, ever the schemer, hatches a plan to win her back by having Archie send fake love notes—signed with other girls’ names—to stir up some jealousy.

In "Reverse Decision," Reggie’s trick glasses send everything into a topsy-turvy world—literally—when he slips them onto Moose during a nap. What starts as a harmless prank quickly spirals when Moose wakes up convinced the whole world is upside down, leading to a series of confused and comically mistaken reactions.

In "Shoot to Chill!", Betty’s frustration over Veronica’s constant newspaper appearances leads Reggie and Jughead to a chilly scheme: photograph her in a swimsuit on a freezing day at the beach. When a massive wave knocks her down, Betty’s recovery from pneumonia proves just as dramatic as the photo shoot—though the front page still eludes her.
