Jughead's Double Digest #57
In "One Dog Shy," a science project gone cosmic takes a wild turn when Little Archie and Little Jughead build a tiny flying saucer—only to accidentally summon actual tiny aliens. Mr. Weatherbee’s panic over the unexpected visitors leads to a chaotic mix-up with Mr. Flutesnoot, who sees a chance to upgrade his classroom in exchange for turning a blind eye. The aliens, unimpressed by Earth’s antics, conclude that humans are too much trouble to be friends. Written and illustrated by Dexter Taylor, with inks by Rudy Lapick and colors by Barry Grossman, this 1999 Double Digest tale blends whimsy and wackiness, all capped by a delightfully quirky cover by Rex W. Lindsey.

Mr. Weatherbee is worried when Little Archie and Little Jughead make a tiny flying saucer for a science project. He's even more worried to be visited by tiny people in just such a vehicle. In a panic he wrecks the science project, which Mr. Flutesnoot promises to overlook in exchange for dramatic additions to equipment (and an A for the boys). The tiny aliens decide that earthlings are too violent to make friends with.
