Archie Comics Digest #6

In "Hat's My Girl!", Veronica takes pride in crafting her own hat, only to have a clumsy moment at the park when she trips over a bench—sending a nearby lampshade tumbling onto her head. Her father, unaware of the mix-up, praises her new accessory, even as he casually places the hat she made right on top of the lamp.

In "The Lucky One," Little Archie clings to his lucky dime as his personal shield against misfortune—until Reggie's teasing pushes him to spend it on a jukebox song. Now, with the coin gone and his luck seemingly broken, Little Archie and Jughead team up to track down the missing dime before it’s too late.

In "Tense and Non-tense," Mr. Weatherbee’s frustration with Archie and Reggie’s constant bickering leads to an unusual classroom challenge: they must settle their differences without fighting. When the duo tries to flip a coin to decide who gets to date Veronica, their attempt only ends up making her furious—leaving both boys caught in a new kind of trouble.

Veronica isn't about to let Betty steal the spotlight at the record hop, especially when she hears Archie invited her for her dancing skills. So she throws a last-minute party of her own—everyone’s welcome, just not Archie.

In "All Work And No Pay," Archie takes on a after-school job helping Professor Flutesnoot with a mysterious experiment, only to find himself drawn to the lab’s locked door. With the Professor distracted and the rules unclear, Archie’s curiosity inevitably leads him into trouble—just as the experiment’s fragile setup hangs by a thread.

In "What Price Friendship?", Veronica finds herself sidelined when Archie's bond with Jughead takes precedence, leading her to feel overlooked. When Mr. Lodge offers Jughead a tempting bribe to distance himself from Archie, the balance of the trio begins to shift—testing loyalty, friendship, and what it truly means to be a friend.

In "Father Glows Best!", Archie’s dad grounds him for spending too much time at Veronica’s, but a surprise visit from Homer—a longtime friend of Archie’s parents—unearths a surprising story about how Archie’s dad once won his mom’s heart from Homer, leaving Archie stunned and curious about his dad’s past.

In "All Jerk And No Play," Moose is left reeling when Midge joins a Little Theatre Group, especially after she’s cast in a production with harem costumes and a blonde wig. When Reggie mistakes Veronica for Midge, a prank escalates into a tangled web of mistaken identities, leading to a surprise romantic mix-up when Moose starts pursuing Veronica—thinking she’s Midge—leaving Midge both confused and upset.

In "Phone For All," Veronica rigs the family phone to stage calls from other boys, hoping to stir jealousy in Archie. When Archie overhears, he snaps at the next real caller—unaware it’s a business call meant for Mr. Lodge.

In "Cheep Talk," Jughead's new parakeet starts mimicking the words it hears—especially the grumbling about bird feeders—leading to an unexpected twist when the bird starts repeating Mr. Weatherbee’s own complaints right outside his window. As the bird’s chatter grows more insistent, Weatherbee begins to question his own sanity, all while the girls’ request for a feeding station suddenly seems harder to ignore.

In "Miniskirt Madness," Archie and Reggie are so caught up in showing off their new Carnaby Street duds that they barely notice the girls rolling in with their latest London-inspired fashions—especially the bold new miniskirts. The style clash sets the stage for a classic teen rivalry, where fashion takes center stage and attention is the real prize.

In "Two For One!", Melvin, the new kid, convinces Jughead to introduce him to Veronica, who agrees to go on a date with him. When Veronica heads to the museum, thinking Archie would never go there, she doesn’t realize Archie is on his way too—thanks to Jughead’s suggestion that she’d avoid the place.

In "Comic Section," Betty and Veronica both sport the season’s hottest trend—paper dresses—only to find the boys are drawn to Betty’s, her dress cleverly made from the Sunday comics section. As the girls navigate the playful rivalry of fashion and attention, the simple choice of paper becomes a surprising source of charm.

When the students at Riverdale High start speaking in reverse English, Mr. Weatherbee, usually calm and collected, finds himself pushed to the edge—leading to a truly outlandish response. This quirky, six-page tale from Archie Comics Digest #6 (1974) captures the absurdity of a teacher’s reaction to linguistic chaos, all in classic teen comic style.
