Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #222

When Archie and Dilton attempt to clone Archie for a science project, a mix-up with Reggie’s DNA results in a look-alike who’s every bit as scheming and self-centered as the original—except he’s got Archie’s face. The experiment spirals into chaos as the clone’s Reggie-like antics throw the whole town into confusion.

Archie’s morning starts with a detour to Dilton’s garage, where the inventor unveils his latest gadget: the pocket snoozer, a tiny inflatable mattress that fits in your pocket. But when Archie takes a quick nap and forgets to close the valve, he’s suddenly floating high above the Hackleton Golf Club, much to Mr. Weatherbee’s growing alarm.

Archie’s in trouble after bombing a test, and Miss Grundy sends him to study with Betty and Veronica—two girls who aced it. But when Betty’s more interested in playing house and Veronica’s too busy fuming, Archie somehow nails the war section of the test, leaving the rest of his study session a mystery.

When the school cafeteria closes for remodeling, Little Jughead faces a serious snack crisis—until his Uncle Fred shows up with a food cart, turning lunchtime into a roadside adventure. With a mix of hunger, humor, and a dash of chaos, it’s a sweet, silly slice of school-day life.

In "The Jet Set," Little Sabrina’s last-minute panic over her George Washington report leads her to an unexpected solution—bringing the historical figure himself, Little George Washington, into the present to give her a firsthand lesson. With a mix of classroom chaos and time-traveling humor, the story spins a playful tale of history, homework, and the oddball charm of Archie’s younger cast.

In "Mustang Sally," Jo and the Riverdale crew find themselves caught in a spirited showdown when Sally Pickett and her free-spirited parents rally the group to protest the city council’s plan to turn their beloved football field into a parking lot. With peace signs, protest signs, and a whole lot of teenage energy, the gang learns that change can start with a single, well-organized sit-in.

Archie finds a surprising way to turn Mr. Lodge’s new security system to his advantage—using it to catch real burglars in the Lodge mansion. With a mix of quick thinking and his usual charm, he turns the surveillance setup into his own secret weapon.

In "With My Compliments," Wilbur’s attempt to prank Slats backfires when a treasure map meant for Laurie’s party ends up in her father’s hands instead—leaving Wilbur the unexpected recipient of his own surprise.
