B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #221

Betty’s ski trip dreams are on ice after she sprains her ankle, but when Veronica and Nancy insist she come along anyway, the trio heads out with a new kind of adventure in store. With Betty determined to keep up despite her injury, the usual antics of the gang take a wobbly turn on the slopes.

When Betty starts a sneaker-art craze that has Chuck sketching cartoons on classmates’ shoes, Mr. Weatherbee cracks down—only for Superintendent Hassle to swoop in and declare the trend the next big thing.

In "It's All Relative," Mr. Weatherbee stumbles upon a conversation between Betty and Miss Grundy about a soap opera, sparking a delightfully absurd misunderstanding that leads him to believe Veronica and Archie are actually siblings. The story unfolds with classic Riverdale humor as the principal’s growing suspicion throws the school into chaotic confusion.

Betty’s got a sudden urge to write, but her plans get derailed by a growing list of errands—some her own, others added by her parents. By the time she’s done running them all, she’s so drained she can’t think of a single word to put on the page.

In "Masquerade Charade," Veronica throws a Valentine's Day masquerade party spotlighting history's most famous lovers, leaving Betty scrambling to decide what she and Archie should dress as—between timeless romance and a little playful deception.

In "Lodge -- A Complaint!", Mr. Lodge’s latest business move puts Riverdale on edge when he buys up every restaurant on Pop Tate’s block, forcing Archie and Veronica to consider a last-minute offer on the malt shop before Pop faces bankruptcy. Tensions rise at a Riverdale High reunion held at the malt shop, where old friendships fray and tempers flare—especially after Midge and Moose end their relationship and each find new partners. Just as the mood grows too heated to bear, Moose drops a surprising revelation: his real first name, and his unexpected run for mayor.
