6 page Archie story "If You Knew Archie Like I Know Archie"

Characters Archie Andrews; Fred Andrews; Mary Andrews; Chip; Moose Mason; Jughead Jones; Veronica Lodge; Betty Cooper; Geraldine Grundy; Waldo Weatherbee
Synopsis Archie reads the famous lines from Robert Burns's classic poem "To A Louse," where the poet wishes we could see ourselves as others see us. Archie disagrees with Burns, claiming that other people don't get a true picture of us. To prove his point, he shows us how other people see him: Fred sees him as a rich playboy; Mary sees him as a baby; a little kid sees him as a giant; Moose sees him as tiny; Jughead sees him with a long nose like his own; Veronica sees him as a wind-up toy; Betty sees him as a knight in armor; Miss Grundy sees him as a dunce; Mr. Weatherbee sees him with two heads. Archie tells us that only he can see the true Archie, but when he looks in the mirror, he sees a handsome muscleman.
