☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Rent-a-Friend," Archie finds himself in a whirlwind of social chaos when his desperate cry for Veronica—echoing like a vintage Spike Jones record—accidentally shatters every delicate crystal in Mr. Lodge’s mansion, leaving the usually unflappable businessman stunned. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Mario Acquaviva and letters by the same, this classic comic moment captures Archie’s trademark misadventures with a perfectly timed, crystal-shattering twist. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick captures the scene’s chaotic charm in bold, nostalgic style.
In "Equal Rights," Archie tries out a bold, macho attitude around Veronica—surprising her at first, but when he and Reggie repeat the act, the results take an unexpectedly humorous turn.
In "Hire Mire," Betty convinces her father to hire Archie for yard work so he can earn money for the school dance—only to worry he might spend it on Veronica instead.
When Hap accidentally breaks the ring Jinx got from a gumball machine, her disappointment isn’t about losing the ring—it’s that she wants another one just like it, no matter how many tries it takes.
In "Mood Madness," Bingo takes on a bizarre acting assignment: spending four hours being grumpy and then four hours grinning nonstop—no matter what. The challenge throws his usual calm into chaos, turning his day into a whirlwind of exaggerated moods and hilarious missteps.
Jo's desperate, dramatic calls for Veronica—echoing the old Spike Jones comedy records—send a wave of sonic chaos through the Lodge mansion, shattering every delicate piece of crystal in sight, much to Mr. Lodge’s utter dismay.
When Dilton’s latest invention—a time machine—goes haywire, chaos erupts in the Doiley house as prehistoric dinosaurs, swashbuckling pirates, ancient cavemen, and even Japanese WWII soldiers materialize unexpectedly, all while his nearsighted grandmother is visiting. It’s up to Dilton to figure out how to fix the machine before things spiral completely out of control.
In "Camp Champ," Mr. Weatherbee rallies the camp counselors to prove they’re up to the task—because impressing the kids and parents isn’t just about fun, it’s about making sure the summer session sticks around for a second round. With nerves on edge and confidence on the line, the crew scrambles to show they’ve got what it takes, all in the spirit of summer fun and school pride.
