Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #12

Betty finds herself caught in a familiar pattern—chasing Archie, just as her mother once chased her father. When Betty’s mom shares her own high school romance, it’s not the fairy tale she expected. But then, Betty hears her dad’s version of the story, and it’s a whole different bounce.

Betty tries to outmaneuver the love triangle with a scheme inspired by her dad’s advice, but when her plan backfires in the most awkward way, she’s left scrambling to save face—especially when Archie and Veronica are both watching. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1985 humor short captures Betty’s high-stakes, high-awkwardness attempt to win Archie’s attention.

When Archie’s dates with both Veronica and Betty get rained out in quick succession, the girls respond in distinctly different ways—Veronica embraces the downpour with bold flair, while Betty opts for a more practical, thoughtful approach. In this lighthearted 1985 gem from *Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #12*, the familiar rivalry and charm of Riverdale’s teen trio shine through as rain becomes an unexpected catalyst for their personalities to take center stage.

In "A Little Fish in a Big Pond," Betty’s enthusiasm for ice fishing takes a chilly turn when her enthusiasm leads to a splashy mishap—Archie and she end up in the pond, much to Veronica’s delight. The story captures the classic Riverdale mix of friendship, rivalry, and unexpected outcomes, all in a lighthearted, six-page adventure.

In "Toss Up," Archie and Reggie overhear Betty and Veronica discussing a coin toss to decide who gets to go on a date with a boy—only to both leap to the conclusion that they’re the one being chosen. The miscommunication sets off a lighthearted scramble as each boy tries to outdo the other, convinced he’s the prize.
