Archie's Double Digest Magazine #138
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Out on the Roof," the Riverdale crew takes a whirlwind tour of Washington, D.C., from the White House to the Lincoln Memorial, with Dilton Doiley’s usual curiosity leading him into trouble. When he tries to address Congress and accidentally intercepts classified documents, his well-meaning antics land him in hot water—literally—after a mix-up with a government official. Written by Sy Reit and illustrated by Bob White, with a cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith, this 2003 Double Digest adventure captures the gang’s classic charm in a setting far removed from their usual high school antics.
In "Friday Afternoon: Father Knows Least!", Mr. Andrews stumbles upon a news article about teens eloping, sending him into a panic when he overhears Archie talking to Veronica about a trip and packed bags. The miscommunication sets off a chain of frantic, well-meaning overreactions as he tries to prevent what he thinks is a runaway romance.
Jughead’s latest craving leads the gang on a wild detour straight to the White House—well, technically, a drive-by diner parked right outside it. After a long bus ride filled with classic Archie-style chaos, the group finally arrives in Washington, D.C., with only their appetites and mischief intact.
In "Saturday Morning 'All Around The Town!'" from Archie's Double Digest Magazine #138, the Riverdale crew trades their usual high school antics for a whirlwind tour of Washington, D.C., hitting the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln Memorial. When Dilton’s passion for civic engagement leads him to sneak away from the tour, his attempt to address Congress takes a chaotic turn after a mix-up with classified documents lands him in hot water.
Archie and the gang visit the Smithsonian Institute, where chaos erupts when Archie tries to keep Dilton from causing trouble. Amid the mayhem, Archie accidentally tumbles into the Wright Brothers’ plane—only to find himself gliding through the museum as the wire snaps.
In "Sportin' Spartan," Reggie challenges Archie to a test of endurance after a history lecture on Spartan toughness, turning a classroom lesson into a playful showdown for the chance to win Archie's date. The stakes are low, the rivalry is high, and the spirit of ancient Greek grit meets Riverdale’s trademark humor.
In "Pleasure Before Business," Veronica cancels her date with Archie to escort the nephew of her father’s business partner to the school dance. At Reggie’s suggestion, Archie heads to Mr. Lodge’s office to protest—unaware that Reggie has his own reasons for pushing the plan forward.
