Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #321

When Jughead and Archie accidentally wreck Mr. Andrews’ high-tech reclining chair, their attempt to make amends takes a surprisingly simple turn—Mrs. Andrews quietly saves the day by slipping a fresh cover onto the old chair, leaving the family’s peace intact.

In "Start to Finish," Jughead and Betty share a lighthearted moment reflecting on Archie’s tendency to begin strong but end poorly—only for Jughead to flip the script with a clever observation about the opposite being just as true. A quick, witty exchange that captures the rhythm of Riverdale’s most enduring friendships.

In "All Wet," Mr. Weatherbee surprises Archie and Reggie with his unexpected kayaking skills—turning the school’s usually clumsy principal into an unlikely river pro. His secret? A clever (and slightly absurd) trick involving a hole in the kayak that lets him walk down the stream, leaving the teens both baffled and thoroughly outdone.

In "The Rejected," Archie and Veronica attempt a classic romantic getaway, only to find their friends—Jughead, Betty, and others—completely uninterested in joining them. As they navigate a series of awkward refusals, the pair discovers that being together might not be as appealing to their friends as they’d hoped.
