Archie Comics Digest #109

In "Lip Sunk," Veronica is struck with laryngitis just before her big recital, leaving her voiceless and panicked. Archie steps in with a quick fix—having her lip sync to a recorded performance—but when he hits play, he accidentally loops the wrong section, sending the whole act into comedic chaos.

In "Super-Market Melodrama," Betty finds herself daydreaming about Archie while flipping through a tabloid at the checkout line, her imagination spinning wild tales of romance and drama—right there in the middle of the grocery aisle.

In "Tune In on Treachery," Veronica’s new CB radio becomes more than just a gadget when she and Archie use it to outsmart a gang of thieves targeting Mr. Lodge’s plant. With quick thinking and a little help from the airwaves, the duo races to warn Mr. Lodge and foil the criminals before it’s too late.

In "Frame Game," Betty and Veronica both pretend they’ve never bowled before, playing up their clumsiness to get Archie to teach them—but when their secret skills finally slip out, the real game begins. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this lighthearted five-page tale from Archie Comics Digest #109 (1991) turns a simple afternoon at the lanes into a playful battle of wits and hidden talents.

In "Sheer Poetry," Miss Grundy’s misreading of Mr. Weatherbee’s instructions leads to a hilariously chaotic school performance—intended to honor Percy Shelley, but instead becoming a full-blown, unintentional tribute to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The resulting mix-up between poetry and gothic horror unfolds with the kind of deadpan humor that makes the Archie Comics Digest shine.

In "Liberty Haven," the students take a field trip to the Statue of Liberty, where each shares a personal story about their ancestors' journey to America—like Andy Andrews and Laszlo Kharandasikov, Moose’s great-grandfather—revealing the diverse roots that shaped their families.

In "Golf Gaff," Archie and Reggie go head-to-head in a high-stakes miniature golf match to earn the right to help Veronica at her party. With Reggie pulling every trick in the book to win, it’s up to Veronica to keep the game fair—and his ego in check.

In "Fight Blight," Archie and Reggie’s latest squabble near Veronica’s pool escalates until Veronica sends them inside to watch TV—only to find them fighting again, this time over which channel to choose. The girls exchange a knowing glance as the boys argue over the remote, proving that some rivalries never fade, even in front of the screen.

In a delightfully absurd twist, "Two Little Words" from Archie Comics Digest #109 (1991) unfolds as Archie and Veronica’s breakup spirals into chaos, with Betty and Reggie seizing the moment—only for the entire situation to hinge on the repeated, echoing use of two simple words: "Archie" and "Veronica." Written with playful precision and drawn in the classic Archie style, the story turns a familiar teen romance into a hilarious, wordless dance of misunderstandings and second chances.
