"About Face"

Version one is superior, because Jughead is not cognizant of events just transpired. The last cord "with feeling" comes from the sound of Mr. Lodge smashing the guitar through Archie. Version two pulls in a bunch of narration -- the punchline of small improvements measured by more reserved violence needs to be firmly placed in an unusual frame of reference to understand. I do not understand the desire to change this one.

"Lore and Order", "Law and Disorder"

The Little variant strips the Hall Monitor power from Archie and Reggie down to Reggie. Give a little guy a little power, he thinks he's powerful.

It is interesting that that the Little variant gets more violent -- both with Juggead just biting Reggie and in the "freebie" retribition. Might be the crudity of elementary school age -- you can't get past the most base concepts.

Not a lot of room for any hallway shenanigans in grade school. Actually you spend so much time lining up to go anywhere as a group, as a class -- very regimented -- and we march. High school is -- I guess there is space for ...shenanigans... but as odd as this may seem, we are too mature or maybe have better placed to spend our immaturity -- I don't know -- Archie Comics lied to me once again.

like a book

Wilbur Comics has a four year hiatus, and when it picks up for three last issues it is just reprinting the last three issues. Apparently they needed to redo this cover though. Fashion, I guess -- you can have 1958 dresses in the interior in 1963, but not on the cover.

Reggie gets away with a chill Jughead until he messes with the food.

Santa Claws

Lecherous Mr. Weatherbee. And comes a familiar enough trope.

Made sure to color in the leggings, I see.
