☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It's Hip to be Mom!", Mr. Lodge and Mr. Weatherbee trade their usual roles for a holiday charity run, dressing up as Santa and an elf to bring gifts to sick kids—only to find themselves mistaken for bank robbers in identical costumes. Written by Mike Pellowski and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with inks by Jim Amash, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this festive mix-up is a classic Archie-style holiday caper, all wrapped in Dan DeCarlo’s signature cover art.
In "It's Hip to be Mom!", Mary takes a break from her usual routine of housework and chores to head to the beach, where her unexpected outing leads to a surprising shift in how she's seen—especially by Archie and the crowd around him. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures a lighthearted, playful twist on family life and teenage dynamics.
In "Diver Down," Betty and Veronica are on duty as lifeguards when Archie calls for help from the water—only to realize too late that his cries aren't a prank. As they dive in to save him, they're startled by something far more unexpected beneath the surface.
In "Christmas in July," Mr. Lodge and Mr. Weatherbee swap their usual roles for a day, dressing up as Santa and an elf to bring holiday cheer to hospitalized kids—only to find their good deed tangled in a case of mistaken identity when real bank robbers show up in identical costumes.
