The cover by Fernando Ruiz and Bob Smith captures the excitement of the con circuit perfectly.
In this lighthearted baseball gag from *Archie & Friends Double Digest Magazine #7*, Archie pulls off a clever prank by tossing a screwball that leaves Reggie striking out—much to Betty’s amused praise.

In "Hole Control," Reggie tries to outdo Jughead at frisbee golf, boasting he’ll beat him on the next hole—only to have Jughead casually confirm a "hole in one" when the disc lands in a trash can. With Veronica watching, the moment turns on a laugh as the rules of the game bend in the most unexpected way.
When prehistoric Veronica declares summer officially started, she rallies the gang with a wild plan: head to the shore for some serious tanning. While most are on board, Jughead remains stubbornly unimpressed by the whole beachside scheme.
In "The Backwards Advance," prehistoric Reggie proudly unveils his latest invention—a "vine and stick" he calls a bow and arrow—only to discover it functions properly when used in reverse. Determined to stick with his original design, he insists on firing it backwards, much to the confusion of his fellow cavemen.
