Archie's Double Digest Magazine #33

In "Cheery Query," Betty and Veronica turn Mr. Weatherbee’s office into a playground of puns and rhymes, delighting in their silly wordplay as they describe everything from school supplies to the principal himself with increasingly absurd couplets. The humor hinges on their relentless, cheerfully annoying creativity, leaving Mr. Weatherbee caught in a whirlwind of groan-worthy lines he can’t quite escape.

In "Who Do You Trust," Samantha finds herself in a sticky situation when Mr. Smythe warns her not to throw wild parties while he’s away—only to have a school bus full of children break down outside his house. With no one else around, she’s left to decide whether to follow his rules or help the stranded kids, all while trying to keep the peace in a house that’s suddenly full of unexpected guests.

In "Who Scent Him?", Archie stumbles into an unexpected role when Mr. Lodge’s company struggles to create the perfect cologne—too manly, then not manly enough. With a knack for the absurd and a nose for humor, Archie steps in with a blend that just might be the answer.

Archie and Chuck’s friendship takes a hit after a heated basketball game, but when students from rival Central High start picking on Archie, Chuck finds himself stepping in—no matter how much he’s been hurt. The two must figure out how to work together again, even if their teamwork is still a little off.

When Veronica catches a cold, Archie is forbidden from visiting her for a full week—so he hatches a wildly impractical plan to sneak a peek by flying past her window on a car-driven kite. It’s a classic case of teenage desperation meeting pure, unfiltered imagination.

Betty agrees to wear a sack dress to school to boost sales at a local store, hoping to earn a new dress in return. Though she’s mocked by classmates, a fashion photographer spots her and captures the moment, turning her unlikely look into a sudden trend.

In "The Rival," Veronica's frustration boils over when she tells Archie she’s tired of coming second in his heart—only to be misunderstood when Archie, thinking she means Betty, abruptly dumps her. But the real rival isn’t a person—it’s Riverdale High itself, and Archie’s sudden realization that he’s been neglecting his school duties might be the last thing he expected.

In "Cast Off," Veronica generously hands over her wardrobe to Betty, hoping it’ll help her win over her father for a new outfit. Betty’s initial excitement quickly fades when the whole school starts giving her a hard time about wearing second-hand clothes.
