Archie's Double Digest Magazine #140
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Flake Mistake," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a rumor about Archie’s hidden artistic genius—only to misinterpret a simple errand involving a valuable painting. As the principal schemes to claim credit for the artwork and boost the school’s reputation, Archie’s real talent (baking cookies) remains blissfully overlooked. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale features a cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith.
In "Critics' Choice," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a rumor about Archie's hidden artistic talent—and when he spots Archie carrying a painting, he’s convinced he’s found a way to shine the school in the spotlight. But the truth behind the artwork is far more unexpected, revealing a talent Archie never meant to showcase.
Archie’s fuming over a measly gift from Reggie, and Betty’s got a surprisingly bold idea: why not pretend to be Reggie so Archie can vent? What starts as a joke quickly spirals into a game of playful deception, testing just how far a little roleplay can go.
In "This Is the Life," Archie and Veronica unwind by the Lodge’s new indoor pool, complete with a mysterious underwater door leading to the outdoor one. When Archie accidentally flips the switch while leaving, Mr. Lodge gets caught off guard—plunging straight into the chilly outdoors.
Veronica's frustration boils over when Archie still hasn't asked her out, leading to a fiery rant about how awful he is—only to be stunned when Mr. Lodge refuses Archie’s actual request for a date.
In "The Eyes Have It," Betty puts her optometrist job to clever use, turning a routine eye exam into a playful interrogation as she gently probes Archie about his upcoming date with Veronica—just another day at the clinic, but with a whole lot more mischief in the lens.
