After arriving late for class again and being lectured by Mr. Weatherbee and Dilton, Archie comes up with a plan to mess with Dilton's internal alarm. It works so well that all three boys are late the next day in "The Bellboy"! Plus: Li'l Jinx's Pal Russ in the half-pager "Fish Wait!"; two 4-panel gags as the half-pager "Archie's Gag Bag"; Archie helps a lost gypsy girl back home and is rewarded with a magic doll that only works for him in "Hello Dolly"; Archie is touting the value of confidence to convince an opponent to avoid a fight, and he indeed runs when someone else looks too tough to fight in "Of Mind & Muscle"; and Archie goes on a truth-telling binge after he gets away with telling Mr. Weatherbee the truth, but Betty cures him by asking Archie to answer a question with Moose present in "The Best Policy?!" 32 pages, full color. Cover price $0.35.
