☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Words Ail Me!", Moose is left reeling when Midge joins a Little Theatre Group, especially when the production casts her in a harem-themed play with a blonde wig. Mistakes pile up when Reggie confuses Veronica for Midge, leading to a scheme where Veronica blackmails him into taking the lead—only for Moose to accidentally flirt with Veronica, believing her to be Midge, sparking a surprising reaction from the real Midge. Samm Schwartz’s expressive art brings the mix-up to life, with the cover by Schwartz capturing the playful chaos.
Archie takes a after-school job helping Professor Flutesnoot with a mysterious experiment, but the professor’s insistence on keeping one lab door locked only makes Archie more curious. When the inevitable happens, chaos follows—just as anyone who knows Archie would expect.
In "Tense and Non-tense," Archie and Reggie find themselves in Mr. Weatherbee’s class, where the principal is fed up with their constant bickering—especially over something as simple as grammar. When they’re told to settle their rivalry with a coin toss to decide who gets to date Veronica, the joke quickly backfires, leaving her furious at both of them.
In "All Jerk and No Play," Moose is torn when Midge joins a Little Theatre Group, especially when she shows up in a harem costume and blonde wig—leading Reggie to mistake Veronica for her. When Veronica uses the mix-up to blackmail Reggie into starring in the play, Moose jumps in, chasing after what he thinks is Midge, only to stir up jealousy in the real Midge.
