In "Hello Again," Betty takes Veronica’s advice to heart and tries a bold new approach to getting noticed—starting with a kiss on the cheek for every boy she passes, with Archie firmly in her sights. The result? A flurry of reactions, as Betty’s sudden affectionate overtures send ripples through the usual high school routine.

In this delightfully silly 1960 gem from *Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #49*, Moose’s famously offbeat logic takes center stage as he delivers a series of laugh-out-loud misunderstandings—claiming a football coach has four wheels, skyscrapers brush clouds away, cartoons are songs on car radios, door jambs are spreads for toast, and octopuses are eight-sided cats. The story’s charm lies in its pure, unfiltered absurdity, capturing the humor of a mind that sees the world in delightfully wrong ways.

Curiosity
6 pp · Humor, Teen

In "Curiosity," Jughead and Archie dismiss Betty and Veronica as overly inquisitive—only to be challenged when the girls hand them a locked box with a simple test: don’t peek for three days, and they’ll treat the boys to dinner. The real fun begins when the boys’ attempts to resist temptation reveal just how hard it is to stay out of a mystery, even when you’re promised a meal.

Duck Soup
3 pp · Humor, Teen

In "Duck Soup," Betty and Veronica set out to show that they can handle duck hunting just as well as Archie and Reggie—leading to a series of mischievous antics that leave the boys scrambling, from shooting their decoys to being unceremoniously dumped from their boat.
