Jughead with Archie Digest #20

In "The Great Food Race," Archie and Jughead stay late at school to finish a science project, only to find themselves in the dark when the power goes out—literally. With the cafeteria lockers full of snacks and meals, Jughead’s quick mind shifts from science to survival, launching a race against time to protect the food.

In "The Dating Game," Archie hatches a scheme to boost his cash flow by pairing Riverdale’s basketball players with girls from the nearby all-girls school—until the usual girlfriends of the team start demanding attention, leaving Archie to navigate the chaos he’s stirred up.

When a new kid named Larry Larue shows up in Riverdale and effortlessly outshines Archie in every activity, Archie decides he needs to level up—literally. Signing up for martial arts lessons, he’s determined to prove he’s still the man, even if the training is more about confidence than kicks and punches.

In "Conscience Stricken," Jughead's conscience takes a whimsical form—literally a tiny floating version of himself—and the duo stumbles into a surprisingly awkward situation when they meet a girl whose conscience insists she kiss Jughead. Things get even more tangled when the girl’s conscience develops a crush on Jughead’s conscience, turning a simple moment of moral reckoning into something delightfully absurd.

In "A Bicycle Built for Woo," Betty tries to secure some one-on-one time with Archie during the school's bicycle outing, but her hopes waver when she sees Veronica nearby. Taking Jughead’s quirky advice, she borrows a tandem bike to keep Archie to herself—only for things to go hilariously sideways when she ends up pedaling side-by-side with Mr. Weatherbee instead.

In "Little Archie and the Wishing Witch," Little Archie takes on a quirky classroom task: lure a bird to Miss Grundy’s feeding platform. When an eccentric witch at the library hands him a magical book, he’s soon on a wild quest to attract the most unusual bird the school has ever seen—a prehistoric pterodactyl—using spells and surprises no one saw coming.
