“Let's Pretend”

In "Let's Pretend," Betty’s plans for a beachside photo shoot take an unexpected turn when a photographer shows interest in capturing her image for a calendar—only to be derailed by a rash triggered by strawberries Veronica gives her, which Betty is allergic to. Forced to step in, Veronica shows up for the shoot in Betty’s place, leading to a day of playful deception and mistaken identities. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo Jr. with inks by James DeCarlo, the story unfolds with the signature charm and humor of the Archie universe, all framed by a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
