ARCHIE #661
He knows if you are sleeping, he knows when you’re awake. He knows if you’ve been bad or good… but he doesn’t know what it’s like to be a teen, for goodness sake! When the jolly fat man in red starts feeling like he has lost touch with the modern teenager, he’s not sure what he should do! Enter: everyone’s favorite holiday pest, Jingles! The tiny elf with the big attitude suggests that Santa spend a week with the hippest teen of them all: Archie Andrews. But with St. Nick living with him and his family, how can a klutz like Archie keep the presence of both Santa AND Rudolph a secret? And will he manage to stay off the naughty list?
