Archie Giant Series Magazine #156

Archie’s determined to impress Veronica by taking down a massive tree, dragging Jughead into the job with promises of glory—and a free sandwich. But when the tree finally falls, it lands right across Mr. Lodge’s driveway, leaving the two teens staring at the wreckage with equal parts pride and panic.

Archie’s relentless hiccups drive him to desperate measures, and when Jughead suggests a cure involving Midge’s kiss, chaos ensues—Moose’s jealousy flares, Archie’s panic spikes, and the whole situation spirals into classic Riverdale-style absurdity.

In "Double Play," Archie’s chaotic day unfolds as he swings from one friend to another—starting with Veronica, then diving into a snack-filled chat with Jughead, followed by a quiet moment with Betty, and ending with a competitive showdown with Reggie. The story’s charm lies in its playful rhythm and the hilarious confusion left in its wake, especially when Veronica ends up sharing a moment with Betty, none the wiser.

Archie’s misfortune reaches legendary status in “One of Those Days,” a classic 1968 humor tale where every step he takes seems to trigger a new disaster. As classmates and teachers alike steer clear, even Mr. Weatherbee bans him from school—until a town-wide Civil Defense drill turns panic into full-blown chaos.

In this lighthearted 1968 tale from *Archie Giant Series Magazine #156*, Jughead uses a wild animal tranquilizer spray to calm down a hyperactive Reggie, while Archie follows suit with Moose—just to steal a moment with Midge. When Veronica catches wind of the scheme, Archie can’t help but wish he had a spray for her too.

In "Weights and Measures," Archie's latest prank takes a turn when he gifts Professor Flutesnoot a book filled with lead pellets, joking it’s "heavy reading." The joke backfires when Mr. Lodge struggles to lift the book, convinced his recent diet has left him weak—despite the real culprit being the hidden weight.
