Archie Comics Digest #15

In "The Flower Pickers," Archie sets out to impress Veronica by buying her a bouquet—only to land a delivery job to afford it. When he arrives at her house, he’s stunned to find Jughead and Reggie already there, quietly picking flowers from the Lodge greenhouse.

When Little Archie and his cousin Dan take a boat trip in Florida with Dan’s girlfriend Vicki, their vacation takes a wild turn when the trio is ambushed by a prehistoric sea monster—Plesiosaur—thought to be nothing more than a myth. Now stranded and in danger, Archie must find a way to survive, and his only chance might just be the unlikely power of a new hit song: "Stone Age Rock" by Waldo Pinckley.

In "Some Call It Romance," Betty finds herself caught between a strange cosmic gift and her own heart when an alien from the planet Frzb offers her a spray that can make Archie spend all his time with her. Torn between her feelings and Archie’s happiness, she must decide what true romance really means—especially when she sees how much he misses Veronica.

In "Use Your Brain," Reggie hatches a scheme that pulls Archie and Dilton into a high-stakes (if slightly silly) plan: sneaking into the municipal power company to hijack their new computer and do their homework for them. With Dilton’s brains and Archie’s charm on the line, it’s a classic case of teenage mischief meeting technological temptation.

In "The Buddy System," Jughead steps in to defend Archie when Mr. Lodge bans him from seeing Veronica after Archie spends his free time sanding, scrubbing, and varnishing his pipes—much to the confusion of everyone around him. With his usual mix of loyalty and appetite for absurdity, Jughead takes it upon himself to prove that Archie’s hobby isn’t just harmless, but possibly the key to a new kind of friendship.

In "A Pose, Is A Pose, Is A Pose," Archie finds himself unexpectedly cast as a model for a photo shoot at Mme. Schapanelli’s dress shop after being sent to pick up a new dress for Veronica. When she arrives later and sees him in a glamorous pose, she misinterprets the situation — and her reaction is anything but calm.
