☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Ground Game," Little Archie steps in to help Chick Cooper with his paper route when Chick comes down with a cold. With Dilton’s experimental paper-throwing machine in tow, Little Archie enlists Spotty to pull it—only for the dog to bolt when he spots Yakaboo, Mrs. Skratchlow’s notorious cat. Written and drawn by Bob Bolling, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted adventure captures the chaos of a misfired delivery system and the unlikely heroism of a kid and his dog. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly captures the scene’s playful energy.
Archie’s stuck with a cane after a leg injury, and Veronica’s determined to help him look the part—so she drags him to her house to borrow some of Mr. Lodge’s dapper duds. With a fancy suit and a new accessory, Archie’s got the look, but his usual chaos is still very much in play.
In "West Zest," Archie's Double Digest Magazine #141, Mr. Weatherbee tries to keep order during Riverdale High’s chaotic Wild West Day—until he decides to join in, turning the school chaos into a full-blown jailhouse showdown.
When Little Archie takes over Chick Cooper’s paper route, he and Dilton try out a high-tech paper-throwing machine—only to discover that Spotty’s loyalty to the job might not be as solid as the route itself. Once Spotty spots Yakaboo, Mrs. Skratchlow’s feline nemesis, all bets are off.
In "Space Nuts," Archie and Jughead find themselves mistaken for real aliens after a night of walking to Veronica's party—only to be caught on a local news report claiming they're the extraterrestrial visitors from last night's UFO sighting. The story spins a silly, lighthearted twist on mistaken identity, all in the classic Archie style.
When a mysterious idol arrives at Riverdale's museum—donated by a shadowy philanthropist—Archie finds himself tangled in a mystery he didn’t start. The philanthropist’s son is sent to retrieve the artifact, but it’s Archie who’s arrested when the theft goes wrong.
In "The Clutch of the Idol, Part II," Archie finds himself freed when the evidence against him falls apart, but just as he's clearing his name, Veronica's well-meaning mistake throws a wrench into the Sleezie family's scheme to profit from the stolen idol. With the mystery still unfolding, the real danger may be just beginning.
Archie tries his hardest to be responsible, but his well-meaning efforts only spiral into chaos—so much so that Mr. Weatherbee pleads for him to return to his usual self. In this lighthearted five-page tale from *Archie's Double Digest Magazine #141*, the usual troublemaker's attempt at reform proves hilariously misguided.
