The Adventures of Little Archie #19

Little Archie’s more comfortable with his pigeon than with dancing, but when Little Veronica Lodge insists he take her to the masquerade, he’s not sure he’s ready for the spotlight. Mary Andrews sees an opportunity to get her son interested in girls, so she nudges Ronnie to meet him halfway—leading to a very expensive pigeon purchase that might just change everything.

When Little Archie leaves his toys scattered around the house, he doesn’t expect them to save the day—but when the notorious cat burglar "Cat" Kane sneaks in after drugging Spotty, it’s the very mess Little Archie made that gives the Andrews family their first clue. With Fred and Mary on alert and Spotty out of commission, can the family use the chaos of toys and quick thinking to catch a thief who’s always one step ahead?

When the girls’ club tries to get Little Archie interested in romance by arranging a movie date, Bubbles McBounce claims her hand is stuck in the name bowl—leaving her with the prize. But when Little Betty Cooper insists on checking, the truth about the trick begins to bubble up.

In "The Carson's Creek Story," Little Archie Andrews stumbles into a mystery when he’s tasked with giving a class speech about Riverdale’s history—only to find nothing exciting in books, town records, or even the statue of Colonel Joshua Carson. That night, while walking with Spotty past Carson’s Creek, a whimsical old man appears and spills a stream of surprising tales about the creek’s forgotten role in Riverdale’s past, weaving in secrets that even the adults don’t know.

When Little Veronica Lodge insists on bringing only one boy to her father’s country house, she sets up a daring test: the bravest one who jumps into the frozen Carson's Creek wins the trip. Little Archie, Little Reggie, and Little Jughead each face their own fears in a chilly race of nerve and wit.
