World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #92

Jughead Jones visits a doctor convinced his striped tongue is a serious medical issue—only to have the doctor quickly point out the obvious when he notices Jughead clutching a striped lollipop.

In a quiet moment at the office, Principal Weatherbee finally asks Ms. Philips for a band-aid—long after a paper-cut that’s been lingering. When she questions why he waited so long, he deadpans that he was “too busy to bleed until now,” leaving her caught between exasperation and amusement.

Jughead’s usual logic takes center stage when Principal Weatherbee halts him in the hall, demanding an explanation for being late to class. With a calm smirk, Jughead insists he’s not late at all—he’s actually early for his next class, and thus perfectly on time.

When Ms. Philips arranges a substitute for Mr. Weatherbee, Svenson takes a rare break in the principal’s office—only to find himself in the hot seat when Weatherbee returns and spots him in his chair.

Archie finds himself unexpectedly tapped as a judge in the 'Ms. Riverdale' pageant, juggling the demands of a pushy Hollywood agent and the expectations of his friends—Betty, Veronica, and Midge—while also navigating the ambitions of Diana Petticote and her talent agent. With Moose watching closely and egos on the line, Archie must keep the competition fair without offending anyone.

Jughead Jones is convinced he’s only visiting Gina’s hot dog cart for the food—though his frequent trips suggest otherwise. When she’s suddenly transferred to a new spot across town, Jughead takes an unexpected detour, hopping buses and chasing leads through the city in a mission that’s equal parts hunger and heart.

When Mr. Weatherbee’s Yakasaki Pigeon develops a flat tire and can’t make it to the gas station—especially with his bad back—Archie steps in to help. With Betty and Veronica watching from Pop Tate’s, the teen takes on the odd errand, turning a simple fix into a chaotic, high-speed ride.

When Pop Tate takes a vacation to escape the chaos of the Choklit Shoppe, he finds himself lost in the mountains—and even more lost when he mistakes a group of random teens for Archie and his friends. His week-long retreat quickly turns into a homesick dash back to Riverdale, where the familiar clatter of the soda shoppe feels like a warm embrace.

Archie’s idea for a "Mini-course" day at Riverdale High gets him suspended when Mr. Weatherbee objects to the guest experts he picked—especially Professor Flutesnoot and Miss Philips. When Superintendent Hassel praises the program, Weatherbee realizes he may have gone too far, leaving him to wonder if he’s made a mistake in grounding the whole thing.

Archie’s frustration mounts as he continues to miss every baseball, but Jughead’s deadpan prediction—based on the last one that smacked Mr. Weatherbee right on the head—hints that Archie might finally catch something… just not the ball.

Archie Andrews finds himself in hot water when a photo surfaces showing him handing Riverdale High’s playbook to a mysterious figure from Central High. With no defense offered—“on the grounds that it might incriminate me”—he’s expelled on the spot, leaving his friends stunned and Coach Kleats furious. As the school grapples with the fallout, Archie’s classmates scramble to uncover the truth behind the photo, while Mr. Weatherbee, Veronica, and Betty try to figure out just how far the prank—or conspiracy—goes.
