World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #30

In "Summer Blues," a typically upbeat day at the beach takes a turn when Betty Cooper finds herself unusually downcast. Archie and Veronica rally to lift her spirits by naming her judge in the "Mr. Sandman" contest, drawing every boy in sight to win her favor—only to find her sudden popularity leaves Veronica feeling overlooked.

Archie Andrews is thrilled to be working as a lifeguard at the beach, until he learns his least favorite authority figure, Mr. Weatherbee, has rented a cottage nearby for the summer. Now, with the principal just a few steps from the shore, Archie’s vacation plans are anything but relaxing.

Josie finds herself unexpectedly drawn to Clyde Didit—aka "Orbit," the self-proclaimed rock star with sunglasses and a wardrobe that defies reason—while Pepper remains firmly on the sidelines, skeptical of his charm. As Clyde tries to win Josie over with his signature tune, "Sock It To Me," the song’s catchy rhythm always ends with someone (or something) delivering a literal sock to his face. Archie and Veronica make brief cameos, adding to the chaos, as the joke keeps building on itself—each attempt at romance ending in a comedic punchline.

When Alexandra Cabot kicks her brother Alexander in the behind, chaos erupts—especially when Melody arrives with a message written in a place she can’t forget. Josie and Alex jump into a taxi to chase a stolen hearse, while Archie and Jughead, making a cameo, grimace at Clyde Didit’s off-key singing.

In "Endsville (Part 3)," Melody's growing anxiety about the world ending takes a bizarre turn when she spots a religious fanatic's sign, sparking a chain of escalating fears. Meanwhile, Pepper struggles with Sock's lack of seriousness, wondering if he sees her as more than just a friend.

Josie and Melody team up to calm a panic-stricken town, while Clyde Didit takes a daring leap—literally—borrowing Alexander Cabot III’s rocket belt to belt out his latest ballad without getting pummeled. With Alexandra Cabot watching from the sidelines, the air fills with music, mayhem, and the unmistakable sound of a boy with a song and a serious case of gravity issues.

In "Sand Blast," Betty and Archie rally the Riverdale gang to build a massive sand castle in the mall courtyard for charity, turning a simple idea into a full-scale team effort. With everyone from Jughead to Dilton pitching in—except Veronica and Reggie, who’d rather enjoy their own kind of fun—the project quickly spirals into chaos, proving that even the most well-intentioned plans can get buried under sand and silliness.

When the new fountain Mr. Weatherbee spent school funds on shatters on inspection day, the principal’s stress peaks—especially with Archie Andrews accidentally soaking him again and again. With the superintendent due any moment, the fate of the fountain, the budget, and Mr. Weatherbee’s patience hangs in the balance.

When Jughead Jones feeds a duck at the pond, he doesn’t expect the bird to follow him—and certainly not all the way into school, where it soon has Betty Cooper in its sights and Mr. Weatherbee’s office in its sights. With the duck now on a mysterious mission, Archie and Jughead try to keep up, while Miss Grundy watches with growing concern.

Veronica Lodge confides in Betty Cooper that Mr. Lodge forgot her birthday, but Betty mishears a conversation and thinks he’s secretly planning a surprise party. Excited to help, she starts inviting everyone she sees—Archie, Jughead, Reggie, and even Miss Grundy—without telling anyone the real reason. With Mr. Weatherbee already suspicious and Mrs. Andrews wondering what’s going on, chaos begins to unfold at Riverdale High.

Archie tries to help Moose cope after his breakup with Midge by pretending Betty is secretly interested in him—only for Betty to catch on and turn the tables by telling Moose Veronica is the one with a crush. With the truth tangled and feelings flying, Archie’s well-meaning plan spirals into a classic teen tangle of misunderstandings.

Jughead snaps a series of photos of Mr. Weatherbee and the gang, thinking they’ll make a fun scrapbook—until Reggie accidentally develops the negatives wrong. What comes out are hilariously fake images that make it look like Mr. Weatherbee’s been mistreating the teens, sending shockwaves through Riverdale.

When the gang discovers that Lodge Industries plans to turn Riverdale’s last forest into an industrial complex, Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead rally to save the trees — with help from Mr. Weatherbee, Miss Grundy, and even Professor Flutesnoot, who’s surprisingly passionate about conservation.

Jughead Jones and Reggie Mantle pass a frisbee back and forth on the beach, but every time Jughead throws it, the disc ends up landing near a stunning girl—much to Reggie’s amusement and Jughead’s quiet dread.

Archie Andrews tries to impress the girls at the beach with his new surfboard—despite having never actually surfed. When his attempt falls flat, a passing Hawaiian points him toward the best waves, setting off a lighthearted chase that puts Archie, Jughead, and Reggie in the middle of a seaside mishap.

Jughead Jones shows up with a black eye and a jacket that’s clearly not his, sparking immediate curiosity from Betty and Veronica. When pressed, he spins a wild tale about Reggie Mantle being the culprit—though the real story behind the bruise is far less dramatic than the chaos he’s trying to create.

Jughead Jones wakes up muttering about a meat statue named Veronica, leaving Archie bewildered — until the real Veronica overhears and takes it as a personal invitation to track down her secret admirer. With Betty and Archie caught in the middle, a prank spirals into a chaotic chase through Riverdale’s streets, all over a dream that was never meant to be taken literally.

Archie Andrews is determined to impress the country girls at the fair, and he’s set his sights on winning the watermelon seed spitting contest. With Jughead Jones cheering him on (and probably more interested in the snacks), Archie tries his best to out-spit the competition — but can he pull off the perfect spit with the right mix of confidence and crunch?

Veronica Lodge sets her sights on elevating Archie Andrews’ taste, dragging him into a world of sushi dinners and polo matches—but Archie’s idea of fine dining might just be a sandwich from the lunchroom. With Jughead watching from the sidelines and the rest of the gang caught in the crossfire, it’s a clash of lifestyles that’s as deliciously awkward as it is hilarious.
