I think they've been ordering their presents before Christmas Eve and they were showing the computer just as a visual aid. Or maybe they were just checking on the status of their orders.

Anyway, I love the return of the jalopy into a new Archie story. Grandpa Archie hugging Veronica is a little creepy though.

Least we know where Archie got it from! 

My thoughts exactly. That story explains how Archie got that old jalopy

I think Captain Hero was referring to the Andrews men's reaction towards Veronica.

NOW we know how the Archie characters stay young SO LONG!

They are really succeeding generations, with that old man as the ORIGINAL Archie!

Clever, huh?

(Ok, just kidding...Fred isn't Archie, of course, nor is Mary a Betty, either.)

nor is Mary a Betty, either.)

I think you mean Alice.

She's too busy leading a double life as a transexual rock star to be Betty.

LOL!!!XD

I do mean Mary not being Betty (Archie MARRIED to Betty maybe, and they produce little Archies and Bettys together. But no, Archie's mom isn't blonde.)

ive now completed the digest and the new story at the end also features Grandpa Andrews taking a tour of Riverdale High and seeing what has changed since he was attending..its still drawn by Pat Kennedy but the script is George Gladir
