Archie's Double Digest Magazine #164

Archie dreads watching his grandparents’ home movies—until he discovers they’ve been sky-diving and swimming with sharks, proving that Jo and her husband aren’t just sweet old folks.

In "Coach" Weatherbee," Mr. Weatherbee channels his college football past by taking it upon himself to turn Archie into Riverdale High's next gridiron star—complete with grueling drills and intense pep talks. But while the coach’s enthusiasm is unmatched, Archie’s energy is quickly running out, leaving the team more exhausted than inspired.

In "The Dream Shop!", Archie stumbles upon a curious shop where dreams can be bought—and sold. With the shopkeeper’s strange offer, Archie gets a taste of his perfect day, only to find that others can now purchase dreams for him, leading to a series of increasingly bizarre and unexpected moments.

When Archie accidentally resembles Prince Francis of Larsonia, the two swap lives so the royal can enjoy a break—only for the kingdom to be overthrown the moment Archie takes the throne. With the prince’s identity in question and chaos unfolding, Archie must navigate palace intrigue and royal duty before things spiral beyond repair.

When Archie learns Mr. Weatherbee blames his weight on job stress, he and the gang launch a surprisingly earnest mission to lighten the principal’s load—complete with secret lunch breaks, a "no homework" day, and a suspiciously calm office. It’s a small-town schoolyard experiment in empathy, where even the most chaotic teens try to be unexpectedly thoughtful.

In "The Game of the Name," Archie finds himself caught in a nightly routine he didn’t ask for—driving Reggie’s car, Gertrude, on nightly checkups. When Reggie starts spreading a rumor that Archie’s spending every evening with the car, the whole town starts treating the vehicle like a love interest.

In "Love and More Love," Archie’s hesitation to say "I love you" has the girls fuming—until Jughead hatches a plan to make the word feel less rare. With his trademark mix of laziness and mischief, he sets out to flood the town with overused declarations, hoping to disarm the whole situation.
