B&V Friends Double Digest Magazine #239
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "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.
In "Skurf Turf," Betty tries a wild new twist on aquatic sports by rigging a snowboard with a tow rope and Ethel’s wave rider for a local contest hosted by a Riverdale TV show, turning an ordinary day into a splashy showdown of creativity and nerve.
In "Spread the Word," Betty and Veronica rally their friends for a heartfelt teddy bear drive to support an orphanage, turning a simple act of kindness into a spirited community effort. When Archie and Reggie both insist their bear is the most thoughtful, the friendly competition takes a playful turn—just as the girls had hoped.
In "Summer Help," Veronica’s usual laziness reaches a breaking point when Hermione sets a firm rule: no more free rides. For the rest of the summer, Veronica must cook her own meals and tend to her own chores—no excuses. The tension between the two is as sharp as the kitchen knife Hermione hands her, and the real test isn’t just cleaning up, but learning to do it on her own.
In "First Choice," Betty weighs her options as she scouts for a summer job, asking her friends about their experiences—anything to avoid the Jolly Burger restaurant. With her mind made up on one path, she’s about to learn that not all choices are as simple as they seem.
