☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Facts of Leaf," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a mysterious flying saucer in Pickin's Park—only to discover it's not a spaceship, but a fully functioning alien eatery. Written by Rich Margopoulos and brought to life with whimsical flair by artist Chic Stone, inks by Rudy Lapick, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, this quirky tale turns a routine park visit into a hilariously bizarre meal. The cover by Dan Parent captures the absurd charm of the moment.
When Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a flying saucer in Pickin's Park and decides to board it for a snack, he accidentally becomes the guest of honor at an intergalactic diner — much to the confusion of Archie, Veronica, and the rest of the gang, who are left scrambling to explain why their principal vanished mid-lecture. With Dilton convinced the saucer is a time machine and Moose trying to order a "space burger," chaos unfolds as the truth behind the "alien" craft begins to unravel.
Veronica convinces her father to buy a flashy new sports car to unwind, but when Hiram asks Archie for advice on the model, things quickly spiral into chaos. With Archie’s input and Reggie’s competitive edge on full display, the garage quickly becomes a battleground of ego, bad decisions, and jaw-dropping stunts—while Jughead just wants to eat in peace.
When Reggie Mantle finds out Archie Andrews is judging a beauty contest and suddenly getting all the attention, he hatches a plan to take Archie’s spot—but his scheme doesn’t go quite as planned. With Veronica Lodge watching closely and Pop Tate’s soda shop buzzing with gossip, the prank spins out in ways neither teen expected.
Archie and Jughead enlist the help of their friends to pull off a last-minute concert, only to face a tricky storekeeper who demands they clean his window display before agreeing to hang their poster—leading to a messy mix of teamwork, clever distractions, and a few well-timed distractions from Reggie and Betty, all while Chester Snavely watches with quiet skepticism.
Archie and the gang hatch a clever ruse, convincing Mr. Weatherbee that they’re throwing a surprise party for Professor Flutesnoot—when really, it’s all a scheme to celebrate Mr. Weatherbee himself, with help from Betty, Jughead, Reggie, and Miss Grundy.
