Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #32
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Goal Oriented," Alexandra takes a surprising turn when she joins the Pussycats for a performance at an all-boys’ university, stepping into the spotlight not in her usual costume but in an elegant evening gown. Her attempt to command attention backfires when the boys remain indifferent, prompting her to challenge their attitudes with a pointed jab at chauvinism. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—inked by Rudy Lapick, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1998 Double Digest tale offers a sharp, character-driven moment with a dash of playful social commentary. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli captures the scene’s flair with a classic, vibrant touch.
In "Goal Oriented," Jughead tries his best to connect with the new girl, drawn in by her family’s sausage factory, but his attempts to bond—especially during her detention—only seem to pay off after she’s free. With his usual mix of persistence and appetite, he navigates the awkwardness of new friendships, all while staying true to his own quirky charm.
In "In Other Words," Dilton shows Reggie how to send form letters from his computer, but when Jughead tweaks the messages, the results are anything but smooth—especially with the girls on the receiving end. Written by a team of Archie Comics creators, the story captures the classic mix of awkward humor and teenage miscommunication that defines the series.
In "Alexandra's Liberation," Alexandra takes a bold step by joining the Pussycats for a show at an all-boys' university, arriving in an elegant evening gown rather than her usual costume. When the boys don’t react the way she expects, she calls out their behavior as chauvinistic—only to find herself caught in the middle of a moment that might just redefine her role in the band.
In a Riverdale where every boy’s attention is on a new arrival, only Jughead seems unfazed—until Debbie walks in, and suddenly, even his sandwich takes a backseat. With Miss Grundy assigning diaries, secrets start to spill, and the quietest heart might just be the one beating the loudest.
Betty tries to keep her Aunt Audrey’s brownie recipe a family secret, but when Mr. Lodge tastes them and offers to launch them nationwide, she’s torn between her roots and the chance to see her creation go big. The pressure of scaling up, though, makes her question whether success is worth losing what makes the recipe special.
Betty finds herself stranded with just a single dollar and a growing realization: getting change isn’t as simple as it seems. What starts as a small financial miscalculation spirals into a surprisingly tangled journey through the neighborhood, testing her patience and resourcefulness.
