The students at Riverdale high keep littering, ignoring the signs Mr. Weatherbee has put up. Archie decides to create a comic pamphlet starring the Archies, arguing that a comic book will get the message across better than a sign. The comic works so well that Mr. Weatherbee realizes that "you could use comic booklets for getting almost any message across to people."
