☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Switching Hour," Archie's attempt to get help with a math problem leads to a surprising mix-up when Veronica calls Betty, setting off a chain of events that leaves the gang scrambling to find him. The moment Betty, all dolled up and ready for a romantic moment, suddenly realizes Archie’s missing, the girls race to track him down—only to discover him in an unexpected spot, sharing a quiet moment with Dilton’s cousin under a tree. With Dan DeCarlo’s classic art and Frank Doyle’s playful script, this 1996 Double Digest tale captures the charm and chaos of Riverdale’s most mischievous hour. Cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli.
In "The Switching Hour," Betty and Archie find themselves locked in a playful battle of wills over the remote, each determined to watch their preferred movie—Betty craving a romance, Archie hooked on sci-fi—while the TV channels flip between them with every button press.
Jo and the Pussycats trade their tour bus for a spa retreat, hoping for some well-earned rest—only to find themselves trapped in a surprisingly intense weight loss bootcamp. With no escape in sight, their vacation quickly turns into a workout they never signed up for.
Jo and the Pussycats trade the cruise ship’s endless schedule for a quiet hotel stay on a tropical island—only to find the local parade is just as hard to escape as the boat’s forced fun.
Archie tries to steal a moment with Veronica, but she’s all tied up with tennis lessons. When she finally agrees to ditch the court for a morning birdwatching trip with him—thanks to Betty’s unexpected absence—it’s not quite the romantic outing he had in mind.
In "The Numbers Game," Archie stumbles into a math dilemma involving improper fractions, prompting Veronica to call Betty for help. As Betty prepares a glamorous appearance, the girls’ competitive streak flares when they both try to impress Archie—only to realize he’s vanished. They eventually find him under a tree, his head in the lap of Dilton’s striking cousin, who’s equally impressed by his sudden grasp of the equation.
In "Speed Demon," Archie gets his hands on a pair of magic shoes from a passing magician, instantly turning him into a blur of motion. But every time he tries to show off his speed, the people around him — from Betty to Jughead — just urge him to slow down and appreciate life’s simple pleasures.
