B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #231

Veronica’s parents are off to Hawaii for a business trip, and she’s stuck at home—until they offer her a lifeline: bring one friend along. With Betty, Nancy, and Midge all vying for the spot, Veronica launches a friendly competition: the one who does the most thoughtful things for her wins the trip.

In this sweet little slice of Riverdale life, Veronica attempts to win Archie’s favor with a batch of homemade cookies—only for Cheryl to step in and change the game entirely. A simple act of baking takes a surprising turn when the treat becomes the center of a moment neither girl expected.

In "The Write-Off," Betty and Veronica take a break from their usual antics to call out recycled plots—directly to writer Kathleen Webb—before spinning their own tale right on the comic page. With a mix of sass and creativity, they step into the writer’s shoes, crafting a story that’s as much a playful jab as it is a fresh take.

In "Lodge -- A Complaint!", Mr. Lodge’s latest business move puts Riverdale High’s favorite hangout in jeopardy, sparking tension when he pressures Archie and Veronica to make a lowball offer on Pop Tate’s malt shop. As old friendships fray and tempers rise at a high school reunion, the town’s usual charm gives way to chaos—until Moose drops a surprising revelation that shifts the mood in an instant.
