Archie's Pals 'n' Gals #32

In "Fair Shake," Archie faces his most straightforward challenge yet: fetching a soda for Mr. Weatherbee during lunch. The principal, fed up with Archie’s usual antics, bets that even he can’t botch such a simple errand—though Miss Grundy quietly believes this could be the chance Archie needs to prove he’s more than just chaos in sneakers.

When Archie skips his usual goodnight kiss with Veronica to avoid spreading his cold, she’s quick to jump to conclusions—especially when she later sees Betty coughing. A simple case of mistaken timing turns into a playful mystery, as Veronica starts wondering if Archie’s illness is more contagious than he admitted.
