In "The Low-Down Highbrow," Archie’s attempt to keep Veronica off Reggie’s radar by having Jughead court her nightly backfires in the most unexpectedly poetic way. With George Frese handling both pencils and inks, the story unfolds as Jughead’s highbrow dates—complete with opera and poetry—leave Veronica longing for something a little less refined. Bob Montana’s cover captures the whimsy of the moment, perfectly framing the chaos of Archie’s well-intentioned scheme.

But when Jughead interprets "dates" as opportunities for highbrow pursuits like poetry readings and opera, Veronica finds the evenings anything but romantic—leaving Archie to wonder just what kind of impression his friend made.
