Archie Comics #77

In "Thread Bare!", Betty goes all out to win the "Patch Hop" by sewing patches on Archie's clothes, determined to outdo Veronica—only to find her rival triumphs with zero effort. The rivalry heats up in classic Archie Comics style, where friendship and playful competition take center stage.

Archie’s prank takes a fiery turn when he gifts a fire alarm to Mr. Lodge, who’s hosting a serious meeting with wealthy industrialists. With the perfect moment at hand, Archie can’t resist testing the alarm—setting off a chain of chaotic reactions he didn’t expect.

In "Think---or Thwim," Betty’s lack of lawn grass becomes a mission when Reggie sends Archie and Jughead across the lake with a lawn roller—empty and meant to be filled after arrival. Jughead’s clever (if mischievous) idea to fill it with water on Veronica’s side sets off a chain of events that leaves Captain Reggie in a very soggy predicament.

Archie’s been tapped to lead the Music Appreciation Class, and with a grin, he’s promised to bring in some records to share. But when he arrives with his favorite rock 'n' roll tunes, the instructor’s face falls—this isn’t exactly the kind of music they had in mind.

Archie stumbles upon a surprising truth while searching for Reggie: the mischievous teen has debts to nearly everyone in Riverdale. With a mix of wit and a little mischief of his own, Archie comes up with a plan to turn the tables and get Reggie to settle up—though just how he does it is a mystery.
