Archie 1000 Page Comics Explosion #[nn]
In "A Natural Talent," Veronica and Betty clash over a painting’s value—until a playful pricing mistake turns Betty’s purchase into a surprising gesture. When Mr. Lodge steps in to help, his well-intentioned plan to turn the art into a charity fundraiser spins unexpectedly off course. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with classic charm by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Vincent DeCarlo, this 2014 issue features a cover by Fernando Ruiz.

Veronica and Betty argue over the worth of an art piece. After the piece is repriced (by moving the decimal point 2 places left), Betty buys the piece for Veronica, who is duly impressed. When Mr. Lodge expresses concern for Betty’s finances, she lets him in on the joke. He persuades Veronica to sell it for charity, but his plan backfires.
