Archie's Double Digest Magazine #173

In "Stop Cloning Around," Archie and Dilton’s science experiment takes a wild turn when a mix-up with DNA results in a clone who looks like Archie but has Reggie’s mischievous personality. The chaos unfolds as the new version of Archie starts pulling pranks and challenging the status quo—much to everyone’s surprise.

In "Whodunit," Archie faces a classic dilemma: missing the final episode of his favorite TV show to take Veronica to a concert, until she offers to tape it for him using her new VCR—setting off a small mystery of timing, trust, and teenage priorities.

In "Mustang Sally," Sally Pickett and her free-spirited parents lend their countercultural flair to help the Riverdale gang stage a peaceful protest against the city council’s plan to turn their beloved football field into a parking lot. With a mix of protest signs, flower power, and heartfelt speeches, the group rallies around a cause that’s as much about friendship as it is about saving a field.

When Little Archie accidentally studies for the wrong test, Miss Grundy offers him a second chance—suggesting he get help from Little Betty or Little Veronica to prepare. With the classroom buzzing and time running short, he’ll have to choose wisely before the next quiz.

When Mr. Svenson, the quiet school janitor, unexpectedly wins a million dollars from a lottery sponsored by Mr. Lodge to benefit an orphanage, he surprises everyone with his unusual plans for the prize—though what he does with it is far from what anyone expects.

In "Bad Advice," Archie sets up a playful scheme when he convinces both Betty and Veronica to submit their problems to the school paper’s advice column—without telling them he’s the one answering. As each girl shares her dilemma, unaware they’re both writing to the same anonymous columnist, the mix-up sets off a series of hilariously awkward moments.
