What starts as a simple gesture spirals into chaos as Archie, Betty, and others mistake the statues for missing pieces, leading to wild confusion—and Mr. Lodge’s growing panic over what he thinks is now an eleven-statue collection. Penciled and inked by Rex W. Lindsey, the cover captures the absurdity perfectly, while Bill Vigoda’s art brings the gag-filled misadventures to life.
In "All in a Day's Work," Archie finds himself kicked out of the Lodge mansion for the umpteenth time—only this time, he insists Mr. Lodge’s jealousy is the real reason Veronica favors him. The wealthy patriarch denies it, offering a surprising invitation back, but Veronica’s fury is swift and final, sending Archie back out the door with a glare.
In "Finder's Fee," Archie sets out to return a lost bracelet, only to find himself caught in a quiet mystery that stirs unexpected reactions from Betty and Veronica. When the search leads him to a middle-aged woman, the girls’ rivalry takes a surprising turn—though the real story behind the bracelet remains just out of reach.
In "Multiplication Fable," Archie's Double Digest Magazine #119 (2000), Veronica’s well-intentioned gift-giving spirals into chaos when she distributes three of Mr. Lodge’s rare Buddha statues to her friends. Archie’s mistaken belief that Betty’s statuette is one of the missing two sets off a chain of mix-ups, as each of the three figures gets passed around and wrongly assumed to be a new addition—until Mr. Lodge is convinced there are now eleven statues in his collection.
In "Just One Note," Flutesnoot reluctantly lets Little Archie and Jughead join the school orchestra, assigning them the simple task of playing a single note—though he’s far from confident they can pull it off. With the whole ensemble counting on them, the duo faces their most musical challenge yet, all while trying to keep their usual antics in check.
In "A Quick Bite," Little Archie accidentally leaves his lunch in Veronica's limo, prompting Little Betty to bake him a walnut cake as a kind gesture. But when she forgets to crack the walnuts open, the surprise inside proves a little harder to chew than expected.
In "The Good Old Daze," Fred finds himself grumbling about today’s teen slang—until he realizes the ridiculous trends he once thought were so charming from his own youth have made a full-circle return. The story captures a lighthearted moment of nostalgia and surprise, as Fred confronts the past in the present.
In "Archie Saves the Show," Riverdale High gears up for a grand pageant celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Civil War, but chaos brews when Reggie pulls a prank that steals the entire costume collection. With the event fast approaching and no time to spare, Archie steps in to keep the show from collapsing—though how he’ll pull it off remains a mystery.
In "Chore Score," Archie takes on his mother’s chores when she falls ill, stumbling upon hidden cash in the couch cushions and a stash of recyclable bottles and papers—just as he starts wondering if he can turn household duties into a little extra cash.
When Riverdale High celebrates its perfect safety record with a school-wide bowling night, Jo and her classmates discover that keeping the score clean might be harder than expected—especially when the pins start falling faster than the rules.
Archie’s latest prank has Mr. Weatherbee at his wit’s end, but Miss Grundy suggests a different approach—giving Archie a chance to prove himself useful. When the principal assigns him the simple task of fetching a soda at lunch, Archie’s usual antics might finally be put to the test.
In "On the Mark (Part 1)," Archie's Double Digest Magazine #119 (2000), Mark, the football team's rising star, faces a tough crossroads—his future hinges on a scholarship, but his grades and job performance are slipping, putting his dreams in jeopardy.
When Reggie’s cherished teddy bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy, gets mistakenly donated to a rummage sale, his friends rally to find him before he’s sold. With a mix of determination and humor, they race through the sale’s chaos, hoping to reunite Reggie with his favorite stuffed companion.
In "Switch Hitch," Jo and her friends find themselves caught in a classroom chaos when the new computer system lets students endlessly swap classes—leaving Miss Grundy scrambling to keep up with the constant changes, one quirky request at a time.
When a classmate runs away from home, Archie is reminded of his own childhood attempt to flee—stopped by a mysterious stranger who vanished without a word. Determined to uncover the truth, he journeys back in time to meet the person who once saved him, only to discover the stranger was his own future self.
In "Mouse House," Archie tries to convince Mary to let him keep three pet mice in the basement temporarily, promising to find them new homes. But when the tiny tenants start keeping Mary and Fred up with their nighttime noises, peace becomes harder to find than a quiet basement.
