Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #40

Betty’s inspired by Mr. Weatherbee’s talk on spreading happiness and sets out to make everyone around her smile—only her well-meaning declarations accidentally spark a hilarious feud between the Andrews and Lodge families. With a mix of playful chaos and classic teen rivalry, "Joyful Journey" captures the sweet, silly spirit of early Archie humor.

In "Fish Fried," Archie hatches a clever plan to stretch their dating budget, convincing Veronica to pretend she’s obsessed with collecting rare tropical fish—just to squeeze a little extra cash from Mr. Lodge. With a mix of charm and mischief, the duo sets their sights on a scheme that’s as playful as it is perfectly timed for a summer of high-stakes teenage antics.
