Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #246

In "The Tiny Tree Trimmer," Archie finds his date with Veronica canceled at the last minute when her father enlists her to entertain a client's son. What starts as a minor misunderstanding takes a surprising turn when Archie shows up at the Lodge mansion—and discovers the "son" is actually a girl named Chris. With a little help from Mr. Lodge, Archie ends up taking Chris out on a proper date, leaving Veronica to stay home. Written by Craig Boldman and brought to life with vibrant art by Stan Goldberg, inks by Bob Smith, and colors by Barry Grossman, this charming tale adds a fresh twist to the usual Riverdale romances. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith captures the moment with playful energy.
