B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #226

Betty’s beach day takes a turn when she realizes she’s forgotten her sunblock, and her friends’ attempts to help only lead to more mishaps—each with their own brand of awkward solutions. But when Archie quietly offers his, it’s a small gesture that might just save the day.

In "Poor Fish," Archie’s unexpected choice of Jughead over Betty and Veronica for a fishing derby sparks a playful rivalry when the two girls team up to prove they can catch more than just attention. With no fishing experience and a whole lot of sass, Betty and Veronica dive into the derby with zero clue how to cast a line—except maybe with a little help from their wits.

In "Classick TeeVee," Veronica channels the iconic styles of classic TV with a playful nod to '60s favorites like *That Girl* and *The Avengers*, plus the spooky charm of *The Addams Family* and the futuristic flair of *The Bionic Woman*. Her retro-inspired wardrobe turns heads—and maybe a few heads, too—just by walking into a room.

In "New Kids Off the Wall Part One," the usual chaos of Riverdale takes a wild turn when a wave of new students shakes up the status quo. Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead find themselves thrown off their game—while Reggie’s prank backfires in the most humiliating way, leaving him stuck in a full cheerleader outfit, including a short skirt.
