World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #37
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "For Whom the Bowls Tolls," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a rumor about Archie's hidden talent—only to misinterpret it entirely when he sees Archie carrying a painting. Thinking he’s found a way to elevate the school’s reputation, Weatherbee schemes to claim the artwork as his own, unaware it’s actually a priceless Van Griff meant for another room. Meanwhile, Archie’s real skill—baking cookies—remains blissfully overlooked. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Rex Lindsey, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale from the 2014 World of Archie Double Digest #37 delivers a classic miscommunication with a sweet twist.
In "Trail’s End," Archie, Jughead, and the gang face a snowy classroom crisis when a fresh wave of slush tracks in from outside, prompting Miss Grundy to remind everyone—once again—how much Mr. Weatherbee dislikes dirty floors. With Fred Andrews and Svenson reluctantly joining in, the students rally to mop up, only to turn their playful frustration on the next likely culprit: Mr. Weatherbee himself.
Suzy Stringbean, the once-skinny fifth grader, returns to Riverdale with a fresh look and a dream: to go on a date with Reggie Mantle. Reggie, caught off guard by her transformation, finds himself torn between old memories and the surprisingly confident woman she’s become. Meanwhile, Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead watch the unexpected romance unfold — and wonder if this could be the start of something truly new.
In "Wheels of Fortune," Archie and Jughead take on a high-stakes chase when Veronica's car is stolen, only to be captured by the culprits and forced to drive it down the infamous Suicide Hill. With nerves on edge and the stakes higher than ever, Archie's unshakable confidence in his driving skills might just be the key to getting them out of trouble—though whether it's skill or sheer luck remains to be seen.
When Alexander Cabot III mistakes Mr. Tuttle for a student trying to sneak out of school, his over-the-top solution involves a high-stakes, filing cabinet–based escape plan that quickly spirals into chaos. Josie, Melody, Pepper, and Albert find themselves caught in the middle of Alex’s elaborate scheme, leading to a wild chain of misadventures that tests their patience—and their friendship.
Josie, Melody, and Pepper rally around Albert and Alexander Cabot III, determined to mend the rift between the two by flooding them with playful, heartfelt messages meant to spark connection—though their well-intentioned plan might just stir up more chaos than calm.
When Melody casually quotes a rule about not bringing dogs into school, a simple misunderstanding spirals into chaos—Pepper is suddenly accused of breaking the rule, and even Albert and Alexander Cabot III get drawn into the mix. As rumors spread, the whole school is buzzing, and it’s up to Josie and Melody to sort out the truth before the situation gets completely out of hand.
When Patti Pacer dares Coach Kleats to a showdown between the baseball and softball teams, the rivalry heats up with playful grit and plenty of laughs. Betty, Veronica, Archie, and the gang rally behind their respective squads, turning the field into a stage for friendly competition — and a surprise lesson in sportsmanship from the coach himself.
When Ethel Muggs threatens to quit the field hockey team unless she gets a date soon, Miss Grundy and Mr. Weatherbee enlist Archie Andrews to help — setting off a lighthearted chain of awkward attempts to keep Ethel happy, all while Betty, Veronica, and Jughead watch with amused skepticism.
Betty Cooper, inspired by overhearing the boys call her "one of the boys," decides to prove it by joining the school baseball team—only to outshine even Archie Andrews with her surprising skill. With Reggie, Jughead, and Moose watching from the sidelines, and Coach Kleats calling the plays, things get surprisingly competitive when Betty’s new athletic streak takes center stage.
Archie Andrews is caught off guard when Mr. Weatherbee overhears praise for his artistic talent—though the real reason is a mix-up involving a stolen Van Griff painting Archie was just delivering. With the principal eager to showcase Archie’s "genius" to boost the school’s reputation, the teen finds himself caught in a web of mistaken identity, all while trying to keep his true talent—baking cookies—under wraps. Betty, Veronica, and Geraldine watch the chaos unfold, wondering just how far the school’s new art project will go.
Rod the Mod sets his sights on landing a role in the pilot episode of the Glads' TV show, only to find his sarcastic jabs at the cast turn the spotlight on him—much to his dismay. Dan Diddit, Dick Diddit, Dippy Diddit, and Clyde Diddit watch the chaos unfold with delight.
