Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #108
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Snow-Man Is an Island," Valerie learns a lesson in perception when she realizes how easily people like Alex and Alexandra can be swayed by tone over truth—only for Josie to quietly point out that Valerie herself isn't so different. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted moment from Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #108 (2007) captures the charm of small-town dynamics. The cover, by Fernando Ruiz and Jon D'Agostino, perfectly frames the issue's playful spirit.
In "Are You Listening," Valerie shows off her knack for getting people to nod along—even when she’s saying something completely absurd—just by sounding like she agrees. Josie quickly proves that Valerie isn’t so different, turning the lesson back on her with a deadpan twist.
When Archie worries that the guys might get hurt playing sports and miss their big gig, he convinces them to try cheerleading instead—thinking it’ll be a safe, easy way to stay in shape. Turns out, the pom-poms are just as dangerous as the field.
