Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #27

Archie tries to impress Veronica with a surprise date by picking up extra cash, but his plan hits a bump when he takes a survey job that demands he hustle on roller skates—no time to change, no time to slow down. With wheels underfoot and a deadline to meet, he’s skating through Riverdale’s streets, dodging pedestrians and his own wobbly balance, all for a chance to win her smile.

Veronica Lodge swaps places with a look-alike maid to skip a stuffy society party, but her plan takes a turn when she realizes the maid is now stuck in her place—literally, at the event she wanted to avoid.

In "Whale of a Tale," Veronica’s sharp eye spots a chance to stir things up when she suggests to a photographer that Archie—already on-site with Betty—could be a useful assistant at the aquatic wildlife park. The moment sets off a lighthearted chain of events as the usual trio navigates the splashy chaos of the park, with Archie caught between two friends and the real star of the show.

When Veronica sulks over being left out of the local news, Mr. Lodge calls in a public relations firm to get her some spotlight—just in time for a whirlwind of unexpected attention. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, "Paper Chase" captures the chaotic charm of Riverdale’s teen drama with a splash of media madness.
