Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #337

In "The Standout," Veronica’s sudden decision to donate her entire wardrobe to a charity sale backfires when her Paris shipment is delayed—leaving her with nothing to wear to one of her own parties, while every girl in school ends up buying her old clothes. The story captures the chaos and humor of a single, fashion-forward crisis that turns a simple wardrobe swap into a full-blown social predicament.

In "It Smarts," Veronica convinces her father to hire a new maid, hoping to free up time for her studies—only to find her carefully curated social life upended when the maid unexpectedly draws attention from the boys at school. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1985 six-page tale captures the familiar mix of envy and charm that defines teenage life at Riverdale High.
