Archie: The Best of Harry Lucey #2

In "Fare Enough," Veronica and Reggie board a bus reserved for athletes and cheerleaders, leaving Archie behind. Determined to join them, Archie pulls out every trick in his book—including a surprisingly convincing drag disguise—just to ride along.

In "Litter Perfect," Archie is sent to the store to pick up a new garbage can, only to find his day derailed when Reggie's teasing about his car sets off a chaotic chain of events. What starts as a simple errand quickly turns into a messy mishap when Archie hurls the can at Reggie, who ends up trapped inside—much to Mr. Andrews' growing frustration.

In "Old Bawl Game," Archie rushes to Veronica’s side upon hearing she’s sick, accidentally knocking into Betty along the way. In a playful act of revenge, Betty and Reggie sneak onion juice into Veronica’s vaporizer, setting off a tearful chain reaction that leaves both Veronica and Archie in tears.

In "Passing the Buck," Jo’s obsession with money takes a literal turn—she can actually smell it, and she’s drawn to anyone with cash. When her attention lands on Archie due to his ties to the wealthy Lodges, he quickly passes her along to Reggie Mantle, hoping to shake her off. But when Reggie’s attempts to ditch her fail, he tries a new tactic: he hands over some cash to Jughead, and suddenly Jo’s sights are set on the next guy with a wallet full of green.

In "Prom," Archie and his date face a sudden detour when their car gets a flat on the way to the big event. As they wait, Reggie offers Veronica a ride, but she politely refuses. Moments later, Chief Johnson arrives in his new firetruck, offering a surprisingly convenient lift to the dance—right when it's needed most.

In "Storm Center," Miss Grundy puts Archie on the spot by coaching him in an American Indian rain dance for class, but his enthusiastic performance accidentally triggers mini-storms that send the school into chaos. With lightning in his wake and weather gone wild, Archie’s attempt to impress quickly spirals into a classroom meltdown.

In "The Kisser Strikes," the sleepy town of Riverdale is thrown into chaos as an unseen figure darts from the shadows, planting quick kisses on every girl in sight. Archie and Reggie team up to catch the prankster, setting a trap with a girl as bait—but when Archie himself gets kissed, the mystery takes a surprising turn, leaving him wondering if the Kisser might not be who they thought at all.

In "The Sign," chaos erupts at Riverdale High when a series of cryptic messages appear on the school wall, leaving Mr. Weatherbee scrambling to uncover the prankster. As Archie quietly removes one graffito, a new one pops up—“Betty Has Bleached Hair?”—sparking suspicion and confusion among the students. Who’s behind the mischief, and what’s really going on with the signs?

In "Weights and Measures," Archie’s prank takes a turn when he gifts Professor Flutesnoot a hollowed book packed with lead pellets, joking it’s “heavy reading.” The joke backfires when Mr. Lodge struggles to lift it, leading him to question his strength—and his diet—just as the school’s annual fitness challenge looms.
