Archie Comics Digest #105

Fred tries to save Archie a trip to the hardware store by assembling a room organizer himself, but what seemed like a simple fix turns into a frustrating DIY disaster—leaving him calling in a pro to finish the job. A classic slice of Archie Comics humor, this 5-page tale captures the chaos of well-intentioned projects gone wrong.

In "Super Stupor," Reggie spins a wild tale after reading about the special effects in the Super Guy movie, trying to convince Archie he’s suddenly got real superpowers. With a mix of exaggerated claims and clever tricks, Reggie sets out to bamboozle his best friend—just how far will he go to pull off the ultimate prank?

In "Tail of Travail," new neighbor Carol Beam, an Olympic gymnast, moves in next door to Archie, instantly turning the usual teen antics upside down. Reggie’s attempts to impress her with his flair only backfire, while Archie’s natural clumsiness somehow wins her favor—much to Reggie’s dismay.

In "Study Fuddy-Duddy," Archie and Veronica attempt to study together—only to find their focus shattered by chatter, music, and snacks. When Mr. Lodge steps in to show them how homework should be done in silence, the pair seize the rare moment of quiet to share a little privacy.

When a little boy ventures into the sewer to retrieve his lost ball, Betty follows to help, only to be caught in a sudden downpour that floods the tunnels. Archie sets out to find them both, unaware that the storm has turned the underground maze into a treacherous maze of rising water and hidden dangers.

In "Party Smarty," the girls have gone all out preparing snacks, only to find the boys completely glued to the TV. When Veronica decides enough is enough, she grabs the power cord and drags the TV—on its wheeled cart—right into the kitchen.

Veronica tries to keep a low profile on a rainy day, refusing a limousine ride to school despite the downpour—while her friends happily make a splash in the backseat. A simple choice turns into a quiet clash of pride and practicality in this lighthearted, six-page slice of Riverdale life.
