Archie Giant Series Magazine #3

In "Christmas Socking!", Midge’s confession that she’s never been kissed—thanks to Moose’s belief that kissing is sissy—sparks a playful scheme from Betty and Veronica, who set out to help her find her first kiss, with Archie and Reggie caught in the middle of their matchmaking plans.

In "Rough and Tough!" from Archie Giant Series Magazine #3 (1956), Jughead lends a hand to Moose over a sticky situation with Midge, and in return, Moose vows to protect Jughead from bullies—no matter the cost. The promise leads to some unexpectedly tough (and hilariously over-the-top) results.

In "Squeeze Play," Veronica tries her hand at the accordion—disastrously—while Betty’s natural talent quickly makes her the star of the school talent show. When Reggie hatches a plan to embarrass Veronica by showcasing Betty’s skills, the unexpected spotlight gives Veronica the perfect chance to finally steal some time with Archie.

In "Weight and See," Veronica faces a fashion emergency: she must shed a few pounds to fit into her Christmas ball gown. Betty, determined to keep Archie to herself, sets her on a grueling diet and exercise plan—only to see how far she’ll go to win the heart of the boy she loves.
