Archie Comics Digest #97
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It's French to Me," Archie takes a detour to Dilton's garage on his way to caddy for Mr. Weatherbee, only to stumble upon the inventor's latest gadget: the pocket snoozer, a tiny inflatable mattress that fits in your pocket. When Archie accidentally leaves the valve open during a quick nap, he finds himself drifting skyward—right over the Hackleton Golf Club. Written by Bob Bolling and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Chic Stone, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted adventure features a cover by Dan DeCarlo and Jim DeCarlo.
In "The Happy Accident," Jo and her classmates find themselves caught in a chain of mishaps that keep pointing back to Jughead, much to Mr. Weatherbee’s growing suspicion. Miss Grundy tries to defend him, but with each new incident, it’s harder to argue that Jughead isn’t behind the chaos—though the truth might be far more unexpected.
In this 1989 satire from Archie Comics Digest #97, Archie’s high-tech car—sponsored by the ever-entrepreneurial Mr. Lodge—goes on a crime-fighting spree, turning the teen hero into a reluctant gadget-powered vigilante. When he meets Veronica, her charm quickly proves as sharp as her intentions, setting up a flirtation that’s as much about the car as it is about him.
In "Decoy Ploy," Moose grows suspicious of Reggie’s intentions toward Midge and enlists Archie to keep an eye on her. When Reggie attempts to turn the tables by setting up Archie as the one chasing Midge, his plan unravels in unexpected ways.
When Archie stops by Dilton’s garage on his way to caddy for Mr. Weatherbee, he’s handed a pocket-sized invention that promises a quick nap—literally. But with the "pocket snoozer" left unsealed, Archie’s sleepy moment takes a wild turn as he floats skyward over the Hackleton Golf Club, leaving his duties—and his dignity—in the air.
