Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest Magazine #88
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Kiss Off!", Little Archie, Betty, and Veronica head to the Hockomock Swamps for a picnic—only to uncover the surprising reason Granny Sage stays hidden: a massive, hungry turtle lurks beneath the surface. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks and letters by the same, this classic adventure blends small-town charm with a splash of swampy suspense. The cover, by Stan Goldberg, captures the moment of discovery with a touch of whimsy and dread.
In "Rich 'n' Happy," Little Betty trades her usual routine for a glamorous day with Little Veronica, complete with shopping sprees and a fancy sleepover. But as the night winds down, Veronica shares a quiet confession that shifts the mood—she wishes she had the simple comfort of parents saying goodnight, just like Betty does.
When Little Archie, Betty, and Veronica head out for a picnic in the Hockomock Swamps, they stumble upon a mystery tied to the reclusive Granny Sage—only to uncover a surprisingly large and hungry secret lurking beneath the murky waters.
When Archie helps a little girl avoid an accident, her grandfather rewards him with a strange newspaper from the future—filled with headlines from a single, fateful day. As Archie flips through the pages, he’s stunned by the grim stories that seem to predict disaster.
