Written by George Gladir, Kathleen Webb, Craig Boldman and Greg Crosby, art by Stan Goldberg.

"A Not-So-Cool Yule": Archie is having a stress-free holiday season, until both Betty and Veronica give him "matching sweaters" that they expect him to wear-- the only problem is, the designs the girls chose don't match! "Cold Comfort": Veronica thinks Archie is being chivalrous about her onion breath, when he merely has a cold! "The Fix is In": When Mr. Lodge and Smithers see Archie with a tool kit, an unspeakable horror grips them -- is hapless Archie somewhere in the mansion, trying to fix something?

ARCHIE & FRIENDS #114

Written by Craig Boldman, art by Stan Goldberg.

"Fortune Telling": Cricket O'Dell, the girl with the nose for money, is back. A mere sniff and Cricket can tell you exactly how much cash is in your wallet. But this time, the same weakness that impacts her ability -- an allergy to nuts -- gives her a new power -- the powers to see how much a person will have in the future! At first everyone is fascinated as Cricket reveals future prosperity for Riverdale's most financially challenged, but fascination turns to paranoia when Cricket reveals who will end up penniless!
