Archie's Double Digest Magazine #35

In "Outshined," Archie volunteers to fix Mr. Lodge’s car for an important meeting, but Reggie’s sabotage throws a wrench in the plan—only for things to turn around when Archie lends his own car, leading to an unexpected twist involving Smithers and a black eye.

In "Duel Personality," Archie faces off against Maurice in a showdown to win Veronica’s affection, but the duel quickly turns into a farce when Archie realizes he’s outmatched—by sword, by gun, and even by sheer intimidation. When Jughead insists on the traditional glove slap, he hands Archie his trusty baseball glove, turning the tide in a way neither expected.

In "Speak Your Mind," Archie watches in disbelief as Betty calmly accepts Veronica's sharp barbs, insisting that true friends can be honest. Inspired—though perhaps too literally—Archie tries the same approach with Veronica, only to find her far less forgiving than Betty.

In "A Nose for News," Archie and Veronica stumble upon a stack of 1920s newspapers, sparking a hilariously exaggerated panic when they mistakenly believe the world has slipped back into another Depression—thanks to a deadpan narrator who never misses a chance to underline the absurdity.

In "Pass the Word," Archie’s attempt to smooth things over with Veronica by having Betty deliver a simple message—just the words "You, too!"—sparks a hilarious chain reaction. As the note bounces from one teen to another, each misinterprets the phrase, turning a tiny gesture into a full-blown silent war among the gang.

Jughead Jones accidentally wins a piglet in a contest, and when he brings it to school, chaos unfolds as the little piglet slips and squirms its way through hallways and classrooms. With the entire school on high alert, everyone from teachers to students joins the wild chase to catch the slippery squealer before it causes any more mayhem.

In "The Great Gamble," Betty and Veronica reconnect with their former elementary school teacher, Mrs. Gamble, and uncover the surprising secret behind her uncanny ability to get students to cooperate—she's been playing the part of the helpless teacher all along. The story explores how a simple act of pretending can reveal more about people than they expect.

In "Tennis Menace," Sabrina sets her sights on charming Bruce Van Klodd III away from his steady girlfriend Rosalind—no spells, no tricks, just old-fashioned charm and a killer backhand. But when Rosalind starts winning every tennis match they play, Sabrina realizes she’s in for more than just a rivalry.

Archie’s latest obsession—frying marbles for sparkly jewelry—hits a snag when he runs out, leading him to accidentally swap a box of Mr. Lodge’s special vitamin balls (meant for his polo pony) for marbles. Now he’s got a kitchen full of fizzing pills and a very confused Mr. Lodge on his doorstep.

Veronica reinvents her look with a full wardrobe overhaul, embracing the latest trends—but when she shows up in her new sack-style dresses, even the boys at Riverdale High are left scratching their heads. With her fashion choices sparking confusion and mixed reactions, Jo finds herself navigating the unexpected fallout of a bold new image.

In "Picture Plot," Betty confidently tells her wall of Archie pictures that Archie’s obsession with Veronica’s photos proves he’s only pretending to be in love with her—only to realize, too late, that she’s just admitted the same thing about herself.

In "Get the Point," Veronica and Betty brace for a showdown when Archie and Reggie pull out swords—only to realize the blades are meant for roasting hot dogs, not dueling. The moment captures the usual teen antics of Riverdale with a playful twist on expectations.
