Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #301

In "Tune In on Treachery," Veronica’s new CB radio becomes more than a gadget when she and Archie use it to outsmart thieves targeting Mr. Lodge’s plant—turning a teenage prank into a real-life rescue mission. With quick wits and a crackling connection, the duo proves that even the most unlikely tools can spark a heroic moment.

When Pop Tate hurts himself trying a new dance, Archie steps in to run the Choklit Shop—only for Reggie to sabotage things by swapping the vanilla ice cream for instant potatoes. The disastrous flavor drives every customer away, leaving the shop eerily quiet.

In "Special Daze," Archie and the gang imagine a world where special days let them act like kids or enjoy senior citizen discounts—leading to a lighthearted, playful debate about who gets to be young again (or old again) and what that might actually look like.

In "T. V. Guys," Archie and Jughead riff on the absurdity of TV tropes—until they turn around and see real people on the street mimicking sitcom characters with deadpan precision. Written by a team known for sharp humor, the story blends everyday awkwardness with a playful, surreal twist.

In "The Wrong Goodbye," Archie’s last-minute invitation to the Lodges’ lake retreat is met with a flurry of distractions from Betty—cookies, a bikini catalog, and a barrage of kisses—all designed to keep him late. As the sun sets and the lake calls, Archie’s fate hangs in the balance between adventure and affection.
