World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #32
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Midnight Madness!", Clyde Didit finds himself trapped in a bizarre loop of bad puns and relentless beatings every time he says "Sock It To Me"—or any variation thereof. Melody tries her hand at wordplay, but even her best efforts fall flat, leaving Clyde contemplating a dramatic switch to the "Archie" comic. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this Double Digest installment delivers classic Archie-style chaos with a side of existential dread. The cover, by Dan Parent and Rich Koslowski, captures the absurd energy perfectly.
When Clyde Didit keeps getting socked for his trademark catchphrase, even Melody’s best puns fail to save him—leading him to seriously consider ditching the comic and joining the "Archie" side. With Josie and Pepper watching in amusement, and a cameo from Archie and Jughead adding to the chaos, the name game turns into a full-blown existential crisis.
Pepper tries to convince Sock to tone down his rough ways, challenging him to prove he can be a "pussycat"—just as three un-named thugs show up, making trouble for her.
Archie is on edge, convinced Veronica is about to break her promise not to date anyone else—especially when Reggie shows up with two tickets to a big rock concert. With Jughead watching from the sidelines, Archie's growing suspicion turns every innocent moment into a potential betrayal.
