Archie Giant Series Magazine #470

In "Name that Tune," Archie and Jughead turn their usual antics into a full-blown prank, spinning absurd lyrics to classic tunes just to razz Betty and Veronica—until one of their ridiculous creations accidentally airs on the radio, sending shockwaves through Riverdale.

In this lighthearted 1978 gem from Archie Giant Series Magazine #470, Charley gets his hopes up after Gigi finally speaks to him—only for Russ to reveal the full, hilariously unromantic truth of her words. The moment is pure, awkward charm, capturing the cringe and delight of a crush in the making.

In a delightfully absurd moment from Archie Giant Series Magazine #470, Betty pleads with Mr. Weatherbee to mediate a kitchen showdown between Miss Grundy and Miss Beazly—two usually composed school staff members now caught in a food-fueled feud over lunch, each thoroughly coated in mashed potatoes and squash.

In "Follow the Leader," Betty and Veronica debate the true divisions in the world, with Veronica dismissing traditional categories like rich and poor in favor of a simpler, more rigid hierarchy: leaders and followers. She claims the Lodge family—and a few others—are born to lead, while everyone else is destined to follow, turning social dynamics into a game of status and influence.

In a playful twist of teenage rivalry, Veronica’s pride in her new blouse takes a hit when Betty’s "Archie's Girl" shirt steals the spotlight—prompting a furious trip to the t-shirt store. The next day, Riverdale High is flooded with girls wearing the same shirt, leaving Veronica the only one left out.
