The Adventures of Little Archie #47

Little Archie Andrews gets a thrill from his new ice sailboat and challenges Little Reggie Mantle to a winter race across the frozen lake, with the prize being rides from Little Veronica Lodge for the rest of the season. With Pop Tate cheering from the sidelines and Hiram Lodge watching with quiet interest, the stakes are high—and the ice is slick.

When a mysterious square egg hatches into a tiny, musical alien named Freebee, Little Archie and his bandmates are thrilled—until the creature’s soothing lullaby accidentally terrifies a baby, turning the whole town against it. Now, with Freebee’s talent in danger of being misunderstood, Archie and his friends must find a way to prove that even the most unusual sounds can bring harmony.

When Little Archie goes for a swim and forgets his clothes, Little Reggie Mantle sees his chance—stealing them and setting up a picnic at the lake with Little Veronica Lodge and Little Betty Cooper, leaving Archie stranded in the water. With the girls arriving and Archie caught in a chilly predicament, the prank takes a turn neither he nor the others expected.
