mysteries of Archie Comics -- witch in the midst awareness
It appears to be a running gag or plot premise in the 70s point of Sabrina where she shares the universe with Archie and resides in Riverdale -- Reggie suspects something, sometimes the whole she-bang. Really, why not -- what with Sabrina's care takers in full witch regalia. Another line has Sabrina picking up on a turn of phrase and so either worried "how did they know?" Beyond that, the knowledge and awareness of the witches in their midst shifted in and out of one and half page gags based on requirement. In the case of this one, it is not clear what the state of relations is -- maybe they know of Sabrina is a witch, or maybe they just know Sabrina has cool magic things.
Going back to the Madhouse days, version 2 -- have a new artist and it is now one Madhouse character into the universe of the other Madhouse character -- so "Donald" knows and I guess narrative wise for the payoff of the piece the guy has to know.
Our most recent period of Archie and apparently Jughead is in the know. Where elsewhere we see Sabrina do a mind sweep for Betty and Veronica (as she did a few times for Riverdale characters in the 70s after throwing out magic), here they just commiserate. Maybe this thread pulls out of Jughead's 2010s date with Sabrina or the Jughead 200th issue clue in. (I don't know the state of Archie's awareness after his 2010s coupling -- never read that one.)
