Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #16
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Balloon Brouhaha," Reggie pulls a classic prank by selling Jughead a worthless horseshoe with a wild tale attached, only to regret it when he hears rumors of a reward tied to it. The scheme backfires when Jughead, seeing a profit, refuses to part with the trinket—leaving Reggie scrambling to reclaim it, all while the real value of the horseshoe remains as dubious as ever. Bill Vigoda’s art, inked by Rudy Lapick and colored by Barry Grossman, brings the usual Riverdale chaos to life, with Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli’s cover capturing the moment’s absurd energy.
In "The Horse-Laugh," Reggie spins a tall tale about an old horseshoe being lucky, tricking Jughead into buying it. When Jughead claims it’s worth a fortune, Reggie tries to reclaim it—only to find he’s the one being played, as the horseshoe’s real value is exactly what it always was: nothing at all.
In "The Great Crashers," Betty and Veronica bring holiday cheer to a children's shelter, using festive decorations from Veronica's country club to brighten the space—only to realize how much more meaningful their efforts become when they see the simple joy the kids find in the little they have.
