☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Don't Cross Betty Cooper!", Little Archie’s attempt to avoid Ambrose’s overtures backfires when Ambrose steps in to challenge Reggie to an ice boat race on Crystal Lake—claiming he’s Little Archie’s pal, whether or not the boy agrees. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, this lighthearted tale captures the classic charm of the Archie universe with a playful twist, all wrapped in a cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith.
Dilton’s been sidelined for three years after a gym class accident, but this winter he’s finally determined to make it to the class ski trip—no more excuses, no more regrets. With a mix of nerves and quiet resolve, he’s ready to face the slopes, even if the mountain doesn’t know what’s coming.
In "Turnabout Troubles," Veronica toys with Archie’s emotions by using Reggie as a pawn in her game, all while pressuring Betty to keep quiet about her plans. With secrets and smirks flying, the dance looms as a minefield of misunderstandings.
In "There Oughta Be a Law," Archie dreams of a world where kids are in charge, only to find the chaos of teenage rule is more complicated than he imagined. With a baseball to the head and a wild imagination, he imagines a school where students run the show—complete with all the absurdity and unpredictability that comes with it.
In "Ship Shape," Veronica arranges for studio photos of herself and shares one with Archie, hoping to ease his loneliness. When Archie leaves the photo on Mr. Weatherbee’s desk, Mrs. Weatherbee walks in and misinterprets it, sparking a moment of quiet tension.
In "Oyster Stew," Jughead's craving for fresh oysters leads him to enlist Archie and Reggie in shucking them—only to find they’d rather play a prank than help. When the duo secretly hides pearls in a few oysters, Jughead’s determination to find them turns the simple snack into a full-blown treasure hunt.
When Archie and Jughead are up on the roof of the Lodge mansion fixing the TV antenna, Reggie’s desperate bid to spend time with Veronica leads him to steal the ladder—leaving the duo stranded and the prank set to spiral.
Archie dives into the world of romance advice after picking up Willard Waters’ guide, *How To Succeed in Romance*, hoping to impress Veronica. When she playfully mimics the book’s techniques, Archie becomes obsessed—racing to collect every one of Waters’ titles, convinced they hold the secret to winning her heart.
When a new student starts mimicking Veronica Lodge’s every move, Veronica decides to turn the tables—by tricking her into wearing the most painfully unfashionable outfits in Riverdale and chasing after Jughead. It’s a stylishly absurd showdown of wit, wardrobe, and teenage social dynamics, all unfolding in the signature humor of Archie’s Funhouse.
In "The Big Loser," Ambrose’s earnest attempt to become Little Archie’s pal takes an unexpected turn when he steps in to race Reggie’s ice boat on Crystal Lake—though Little Archie never asked for the help. With his heart in the right place and a boat full of determination, Ambrose finds himself in the middle of a winter showdown he never saw coming.
In "Dilton's Silly Unsolved Mysteries of Science," the ever-curious Dilton Doiley tackles the baffling question of why digging a hole and replacing the dirt never quite adds up—sometimes there's too much, sometimes not enough. With his trademark mix of earnest science and playful absurdity, Dilton turns a simple backyard mystery into a delightfully oddball puzzle.
