In "The Santa Syndrome," Betty and Veronica take on a seemingly simple challenge: spend no more than five dollars on a gift for Archie. But when their competitive spirits kick in, even the tightest budget starts to feel like a battlefield. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1977 gem captures the classic Archie dynamic with a festive twist. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures the holiday spirit and the girls’ growing dilemma.
