Betty and Veronica Annual Digest Magazine #2

In "Designing Woman," Betty’s heart sinks as her macaroni sculptures gather dust, but Veronica isn’t about to let her friend’s art go unsold. With a mix of charm, clever manipulation, and just a hint of intimidation, Veronica sets out to convince the gang to buy in—no matter the cost to their wallets or pride.

In a future where humanity lives beneath the sea, a descendant of Mr. Weatherbee leads a history class on the enduring legacy of Archie and his friends—whose lives, once thought ordinary, now shape the culture of a submerged world.

In "Pirate Gold," teenage heiress Cynthia Snobnostril finds herself in a high-stakes predicament when pirate Black Blech demands the U.S. gold cache as ransom for her release. With time running out and the fate of the treasure hanging in the balance, Captain Trueblue must navigate a dangerous game of bluff and bravado to save her—without losing the gold or his honor.

In "The Catered Bouquet," Alex’s extravagant floral gifts for Josie start to weigh on Alan’s self-esteem, while Melody’s unexpected bouquet from her caterer friend turns heads—literally, when it draws a pack of curious dogs.

In "Gnaws! When the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play," Archie and Jughead take on a job to clear Mr. Lodge’s cabin of mice—only to discover that getting rid of the rodents is far more chaotic than they expected. What starts as a simple errand quickly spirals into a full-blown mess, leaving the cabin in worse shape than when they started.

In "Call of the Wild," Veronica gives Archie a pager to keep track of him, but Jughead quietly takes it and swaps it with a device of his own design—setting off a playful game of one-upmanship between the trio.
