In "Can You Dig It?", Archie and his friends trade Riverdale high for a summer fossil dig led by grad student Ben Alvarez, hoping to earn extra credit. When Reggie and Archie’s usual antics disrupt the excavation, they’re quickly booted off the project—leaving their classmates to uncover the real treasures beneath the surface. Written and drawn by Bill Golliher, with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the issue’s cover by Stan Goldberg and Rich Koslowski captures the summer adventure’s playful spirit.

Betty’s ambitious plan to cram every possible summer adventure into the final months of the 20th century quickly hits a wall when Archie, Veronica, Jughead, and the rest of the gang stage a peaceful but firm protest. With a mix of humor and growing exhaustion, the group finds themselves at a crossroads—how far will they go to keep up with Betty’s vision, and what happens when even the best intentions start to feel like too much?
