Tales from Riverdale Digest #8

In "The Scalper," Jughead Jones’s prank of wearing a mop top wig to avoid detention sparks a full-blown schoolwide trend—soon, even Betty Cooper and Reggie Mantle are sporting the look. When Mr. Weatherbee finally cracks down, the whole school watches in suspense as he tries the wig on himself, revealing just how far a single silly idea can go.

In "The Turncoat," Josie, Melody, Pepper, and Clyde Didit find themselves in a holiday twist when a visit to Clyde’s igloo leads the girls to a department store with a surprising mission: returning their Christmas gifts. Melody’s attempt to exchange a bikini—claiming it covers too much—sparks an unexpected reaction from the store’s customers, leaving the group caught in a moment of awkward humor and quiet confusion.

In "Go Go Gift," Clyde Didit’s attempt to return a magic set that no one else can see spirals into chaos when he accidentally turns Sock into a dog—only he’s convinced it’s real. Josie steps in with a few clever magic words to fend off Clyde’s sudden romantic overtures, turning the situation into a playful, surreal showdown of wits and wonder.

Betty and Veronica are thrust into the wilds of "Survivor Island," where their rivalry takes a dangerous turn when Veronica's ruthless tactics land her on the chopping block.
