Archie Comics Digest #145

Archie’s desperate, off-key serenade for Veronica echoes through the Lodge mansion, sending crystal chandeliers and delicate glassware trembling—much to Mr. Lodge’s growing dismay. The sheer volume of his longing, delivered with all the passion of a rejected opera star, turns the elegant estate into a symphony of shattering sound.

When Betty suddenly starts wearing an eye patch after minor surgery, her already tricky balance between school life and friendship takes a nosedive. With depth perception gone and the teasing from classmates piling up, she’s left navigating the chaos of Riverdale high with one eye covered and a whole lot on her mind.

In "Father Knows Best..," Betty takes her father’s advice to heart when she finds herself caught in a love triangle with Archie and Veronica, leading her to devise a clever — if slightly chaotic — scheme to change the dynamic. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures the classic Archie Comics charm with a playful twist on teenage romance.
