Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #52

In this classic 1960 humor tale from *Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #52*, Veronica splurges $150 on a tie-clip to commemorate the anniversary of her and Archie’s first meeting—only for Betty to quietly alter the price tag to $1.50 to test Archie’s true intentions. Archie’s reaction isn’t about the cost, but something far more personal, revealing a moment of unexpected honesty that makes the whole situation strangely clear in hindsight.

In "In Again, Out Again," Veronica’s frustration over Archie’s silence after their latest fight boils over—until she finally calls him, only to find herself apologizing instead. But when she remembers she’d told Smithers to kick Archie out if he showed up, panic sets in, and she’s forced to send Smithers chasing after Archie to bring him back.

In "A Bicycle Built for Woo," Betty tries to secure some one-on-one time with Archie during the school's bicycle outing, but her plans unravel when she borrows a tandem bike to keep him to herself—only to find herself pedaling alongside Mr. Weatherbee instead. The story unfolds with classic Archie humor, as Betty’s well-intentioned scheme spins hilariously out of control.

In "Class Crash," Betty’s offhand comment sparks a rivalry when Veronica resolves to find a wealthy boyfriend to prove Archie isn’t after her money—only to find herself out of her depth when Archie tries to date Betty, who’s now equally determined to snag a rich partner.
