Archie Comics Digest #31

In "The Signature," Archie strikes a deal with Jughead: if Jughead will do his homework, Archie will pay him in food. What starts as a simple trade soon turns into a surprisingly efficient — and delicious — arrangement.

Archie tries to convince his friends that his black eye came from walking into a door, but no one buys the excuse—especially not Jughead, who’s already suspicious. With everyone convinced he’s hiding a real story, Archie’s desperate to prove he’s telling the truth in "The Eyes Have It!"

In "I Understand," Jughead launches a school-wide campaign promoting kindness through understanding, but Reggie isn't buying it—skeptical that anyone could be that thoughtful all the time. As Jughead tries to spread goodwill, Reggie’s disbelief sets off a chain of reactions neither of them expected.

In "Not Guilty," Fred’s dread turns to full-blown courtroom panic when he’s summoned to see Mr. Weatherbee about Archie—only to spiral into a wild dream where he’s on trial for allegedly turning the teen into a delinquent. With the school principal as the judge and a chorus of classmates as witnesses, Fred must defend himself in a surreal, slapstick showdown that’s as much about teenage mischief as it is about getting out of trouble.
