In "If You Knew Archie Like I Know Archie," Archie takes a playful stand against Robert Burns’s famous poem, arguing that people don’t truly see him for who he really is. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey with inks by Terry Szenics, the story unfolds as Archie recounts how others perceive him—only to be stunned when his own reflection reveals a surprisingly heroic, musclebound version of himself. The cover, also by Lucey and Szenics, captures the moment with a wink and a grin.

In "If You Knew Archie Like I Know Archie," Archie puts his own spin on Robert Burns’s poetic reflection, arguing that only he truly knows the real him—while others see only a distorted version. As he recounts how people perceive him, from his friends to his classmates, the story takes a surprising turn when Archie glances into the mirror and sees something far from his usual self.

In "Adult Education," Jo and the gang finally get their wish: Mr. Weatherbee grants them adult privileges, scrapping homework and lifting the talking ban in homeroom. But when the freedom comes, the students discover that proving they’re mature means putting in even more effort—just to keep the trust they’ve been given.
