I’m at the fanciest Italian restaurant in Riverdale (weirdly, I can also order lobster here). Across the table is my Valentine’s date—high school heartthrob and continual teenage crush Jason Blossom. No, wait. It’s no heartthrob at all, it’s everyman Archie Andrews, looking extra freckled and earnest in the kind glow of the candlelight.

Happy Friday, crusaders! At least, I think it’s Friday. I’ve been hit in the head so many times during fight training that I’m no longer sure. But let’s examine the news, just in case!

The DC Daily Planet: I Need a Lazarus Pit
…to snap me out of my holiday food and babysitting coma. Anybody have one handy? Is it basically a kiddie pool full of coffee? Can anyone bring me one of those?
