When I was younger, my mother struggled to raise me and give me what other children usually had. I have been read Archie comics since I was younger but I don't remember much of it. The memory I really remember with Archie is when we were walking through a bookstore and I saw a Little Archie digest. My mom couldn't take it away from me and she had no choice but to buy it. I read that one digest every day that it pretty much ended up in poor condition, but still readable. It was expensive for us so I tried to keep it that way. What I started doing from that day on was going to the bookstore and reading Archie comics there. The manager didn't stop me, I guess she knew I would be careful with it. I remember reading one story about Little Archie. It was a story about Sue Stringly and how the kids from her school made fun of her because no one would trade lunches with her. She had the same lunch every single day and it wasn't exactly very appetizing. However, Archie didn't make fun of her. I think Sue mentioned during lunchtime that she had a friend she was going to visit. Archie became curious and followed Sue after school. There, he saw that the friend Sue was speaking of was a cat that lives in a tree. Little Archie realized that Sue's family wasn't as well off as most of the kids' families in their school. When he went home, he took the money he was saving for his rollerblades (or were they ice skates?) and used the money to buy Sue some groceries. He left the groceries at the tree where the cat was.

I don't quite remember the rest of the story but reading that really taught me a lot when I was a kid. About how I should treat people and about my own character. It's just one of those stories that I will never really forget... And that is how I first fell in love with Archie comics.. It got me through the days that we were struggling and always kept me smiling no matter what

Guys, if you know what issue that story is in, please tell me  I've been trying to figure out for a while because I can't remember and I don't have the copy anymore. I really want to read it over and over again just like before...

I've had Archie stories make a strong impression on me like that as well. 

Can you remember the year you got it?  That might help other members locate the story since it would narrow the search.

I actually have that story too, but I don't remember what digest I have it in (I have a LOT).  If I come across it, I'll let you know! 

And, my first Archie comic was a Little Archie Digest too! 

Oh man! That would be great  Thank you so much.

I'll ask my Mom if she remembers. And yeah, that's why I'm saving my Archies. Maybe I can give it to someone when I get older and he/she can learn a thing or two from it.
