Archie Comics #82

In "Toney Phonies!", Archie’s good deed of helping Betty and Jughead tidy up for a backyard barbeque takes a turn when Veronica drops a bombshell: she’s hosting a fancy catered party that night. Reluctantly joining her, Archie, Betty, and Jughead find themselves out of place among Veronica’s aloof friends—until a shared craving for something simple leads them back to a cozy wiener roast in Betty’s yard.

In "Fit to Be Tried," Veronica surprises Archie with a handmade sweater, but when Betty learns it’s been left in a shared locker, her quiet struggle with jealousy leads her to take a drastic, if misguided, step—only to find herself facing the unexpected consequences of her actions.

In "Buddha Pest," Archie becomes oddly attached to a small Buddha statue he admires, only to learn from Veronica that it's part of a pair—and nearly valueless without its twin. When he spots a nearly identical figurine at Betty’s, he can’t help but wonder if fate (or a prank) has brought the missing piece into his life.

In "Fashion Passion," Archie and Reggie find themselves outshone by Lucius Peeby, the town’s self-proclaimed fashion icon whose father edits *Young Squire*. When Mr. Peeby visits the boys, he unexpectedly praises their wild, homemade styles as the next big trend—leaving Archie and Reggie scrambling to keep up with the new look they’ve accidentally started.
