☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Funny About Money," Betty and Veronica’s friendship hits a rough patch, leading Archie to suggest they seek advice from the school newspaper’s anonymous columnist—unbeknownst to them, a role he’s quietly filling himself. With Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli’s classic cover art capturing the drama, this 2000 Double Digest installment offers a lighthearted yet heartfelt look at teenage squabbles, all drawn by Fernando Ruiz.
In "Better Never than Late," Archie wakes from a panic-filled nightmare about being late for school, only to find himself up early—just in time to remember he’s supposed to be at school early for a field trip. The clock is ticking, and the usual chaos of his day takes a frantic turn as he races to get ready.
When Dilton's latest invention goes awry, Archie and Mr. Weatherbee find themselves swapped—suddenly living each other’s lives for a day. As Archie grapples with the principal’s responsibilities and Mr. Weatherbee tries to keep up with teenage antics, they must navigate the chaos of their new roles before things return to normal.
In "Eye Sore," Archie tries to impress Veronica by claiming he’s immune to other girls’ charms—until a striking stranger walks by, prompting him to critique every detail of her appearance, much to Veronica’s amusement.
When Reggie’s teasing pushes Dilton too far, the brainy teen takes matters into his own hands—literally. Armed with a homemade robotic power suit, Dilton steps out of the shadows to show just how far a genius can go when provoked.
In "Bad Advice," Betty and Veronica's friendship hits a rough patch, prompting Archie to suggest they seek guidance from the school paper’s advice columnist—unbeknownst to them, a role he’s secretly filling. As each girl pours her heart out to the mysterious columnist, their letters take unexpected turns, all while Archie watches from the sidelines, caught between two friends he’s trying to help.
In "Fright Plight," Betty’s fear of horror films reaches a peak when Archie drags her into a triple feature he’s been dying to see. Dilton, ever the problem-solver, suggests they face the frights head-on by watching the genre they both dread—hoping exposure will ease Betty’s nerves.
When Vice Principal Howitzer takes charge and refuses to let Dilton skip class to deliver his invention to a competition, Archie and Jughead step in to help—racing against time to get the device to its destination. With their usual mix of chaos and cleverness, the duo takes on the task, navigating school hallways and unexpected obstacles in a mission that’s equal parts friendship and farce.
In "Svenson Cleans Up," Mr. Svenson, the quiet school janitor, unexpectedly wins a million dollars after Mr. Lodge launches a high-stakes lottery to spotlight an orphanage. With the prize in hand, Svenson makes a choice that surprises everyone—especially those who never expected much from him.
