"Loud Crowd", "Heat Rave"

rerun

That inflatable horsey sure makes the rounds. Why are these inanimate objects always eyeing the girl riding them in Decarlo illustrations?

The word "re-runs" not used in Quebec.

"Counter Attack"

Setting it up

We have a story where the reprint dumped a page of Betty trying to convince Archie he’s literally attracted to her using a radiation geiger. And. They remove the page where she might.

Necessitating a change in script when (spoiler) Veronica comes in wearing a watch.

I suppose it almost makes more sense for Archie to conjecture a pseudo-scientific explainer than for Betty to lay it out.

And with that they could save room for the double feature of half pagers with Archie in “Moe Woe” and Moose in “Snow Glow”.

"Private Enterprise"

Veronica's bikini bottom briefly turns to yellow. I also note the top is visible -- barely -- in that first panel, but gets lost in the reprint.

And the printing gets smeared in two directions.

Jughead thinks like Nancy.

"This Girl for Hire"

50¢ becomes (oddly) $5.00 (decimal required?), Fifteen dollar jeans remain fifteen dollar jeans, one dollar fee becomes five dollar fee, and this dollar is now this ten.

"The Name's the Game"

I guess Betty and Veronica are stretching because you need some visual movement to bother.

Poncho for two

"Poncho" seems to be lost to Norway. And I guess Norway has multi-colored umbrellas, at least for the characters of central focus.

"Jump for Joy", "Up and Down", "I've Tumbled for You"

"A Questionable Girl"

"Counter Offensive"

Jughead refers to Pop Tate, who we know is named Pop Tate through the title card, as Pop Tait.
