| Notes | With this issue, Bob Bolling took over "Archie and Me" as artist and writer (he had previously drawn but not written stories for the title). He brought a new approach to the title, incorporating drama and fantasy as well as humor, and bringing in characters and continuity from his classic "Little Archie" stories. His memorable run on the title would last through issue # 152. Jughead does not appear on the cover, though he does briefly appear in the story. This appears to have been an intentional omission, because Jughead would be de-emphasized in Bolling's "Archie and Me" run; he doesn't appear in most of the stories and only has a line or two when he does appear. |

| Synopsis | A new teacher, the aptly named Malcolm Meeks, arrives at Riverdale High. He immediately antagonizes Mr. Weatherbee by denting his new car (a "Yakasaki Pigeon"), and he loses the respect of the students due to his unwillingness to fight back against Reggie's pranks. But Betty suspects that Meeks's timid exterior is concealing some kind of deep-seated rage inside of him: "There's something smoldering in that man... I can see it in his eyes." When Meeks is made acting coach of the baseball team during the big game against Hasselhead High, a freak accident during the game gives him the chance to show what he's been hiding, and face up to a traumatic event from his past. |

| Notes | Mr. Weatherbee's new Yakasaki Pigeon, and the fact that it constantly gets dented in the same place, would be a running gag throughout Bolling's "Archie and Me" run. |
