Bring On the Dancing Girls!
The Archies / comic story / 11 pages
- Genre
- humor; teen
- Characters
- Archie Andrews; Jughead Jones; Reggie Mantle; Betty Cooper; Veronica Lodge; Hiram Lodge; Pop Tate
- Synopsis
- The Archies are looking for a go-go dancer and both Betty and Veronica want the job. Veronica tries to kidnap Archie so he'll pick her, but when he refuses, she throws a jar of vanishing cream at him, and he almost vanishes, shrinking down to miniscule size. Jughead and Reggie feed Archie rubber bands so he'll "stretch" back to his normal size, and then the three guys take to annoying Mr. Lodge (including turning up in his shower at one point) before scaring the girls away from the go-go girl gig.
