B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #239

In "Pet's Rule," Betty and Veronica rally their friends for a teddy bear drive to benefit an orphanage, turning a simple kindness into a spirited competition. Naturally, Archie and Reggie can't resist getting involved—each convinced their chosen bear is the most thoughtful gift—leading to a playful feud that tests their friendship. Written by Jim Ruth and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art, Rudy Lapick’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s lettering, this heartwarming slice of Riverdale life shines with charm and humor. The cover by Bill Galvan and Bob Smith captures the playful spirit of the story.
