Merry Christmas 2025

A very Merry Christmas to all, as Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica take some of the local kids to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas in this cover to Christmas With Archie from 1974 by Al Hartley.  

Happy Anniversary Mustang

Celebrating the Anniversary of the Ford Mustang that debuted at the New York's World's Fair on April 17, 1964 with this photo cover to Archie #443 (January, 1996, with art by Bill Golliher), as Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica get ready to leave school in style, all under the watchful eye of Miss Grundy and Principal Weatherbee.

 

National Pizza Pie Day 2024

Go out and have a slice of pizza today, as it is National Pizza Pie Day, but, be careful that you don't have pizza ninja Archie doing the slicing....as Jughead and Betty worry...as shown on this cover for Life With Archie #282 (January, 1991) by Stan Goldberg and Rudy Lapick.

Happy Thanksgiving 2023

May you have a happy Thanksgiving with all your friends and family, but don't pull a Jughead and hog the turkey...

...like Jughead is trying on this cover to The New Archies #11 (January, 1989) by Henry Scarpelli and Rudy Lapick.

 

End Of Life With Archie

All good things come to an end, and that was true, even of Archie Andrews.

Starting with an experiment (following Archie's life if he had alternatively, married Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge)...

...Life With Archie came to an end with Life Of Archie #37 (September, 2014), after Archie had died in the previous issue.

One of many different versions of the familiar Riverdale characters, that particular chapter closed, but later books still focus on the folks of Riverdale (including Archie)....

...and things could get even stranger from here with all the variants of Archie, Jughead, Betty and more!

National Pizza Day 2023 With Jughead

Jughead Jones is not the person you want to share National Pizza Day with, as Archie Andrews finds out on this cover for Jughead's Double Digest #94 (July, 2003) by Stan Goldberg and Jon D'Agostino, but try to enjoy this day with a pie yourself!

A Christmas Laugh

Santa Claus gets the royal treatment as Christmas approaches, as Rudolph looks on.  Here, on the cover of Laugh #5 (February, 1988), by Dan DeCarlo, we see Archie, Jughead, Sabrina, Betty and Veronica fuss over St. Nick, all while Josie and the Pussycats sing carols for him.  

Archie The Barbarian

When Riverdale's season ended, and the Archie gang were transported to the 1950s...they could have ended up in worse times. 

They could have ended up in pre-history, with Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead having to get used to a more barbaric life, as imagined by artist Stan Goldberg for this cover of Comic Reader #216 (February, 1984).

Happy Doughnut Day 2021

Enjoy National Doughnut Day with Jughead Jones, as he works hard on the cover of Jughead #222 (November, 1973) by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick.

Wonder what the eating machine that is Jughead did with those donut holes?

National Hamburger Day 2021 With Jughead

Jughead Meets The Monsters

Jughead Jones is usually a hungry fellow, but here, in Archie's Madhouse #16 (December, 1961 in a cover by Samm Schwartz) , his appetite might work against him, as he wandered into a castle with the Wolfman and Dracula!

Celebrate National Ice Cream Day With Jughead

Better bring your own ice cream for National Ice Cream Day, because I wouldn't want to get between Jughead Jones and his ice cream....

....Jughead has a love for ice cream like no other, as shown on this cover to Archie's Pal Jughead Comics #69 (June, 1995) by Stan Goldberg and Mike Esposito.

Laugh With A Sick Archie

Archie and Jughead have known to practice social distancing when you are sick, as you can see by this cover to Laugh #112 (July, 1960) by Harry Lucey, Martin Epp and Bob White.

Stay safe and wash your hands!

Happy Pi Day 2020

Though usually known for hamburgers, Jughead Jones has occasionally switched to other culinary delights, and has used that to win contests, such as this pie eating contest as shown on the cover of Archie's Pal, Jughead #46 (February, 1958) by Harry Lucey.

Happy Pi Day!
