Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #71

In "Video Venture," Veronica captures her father and Smithers in a hilariously awkward moment trying out a girls' workout tape, prompting Mr. Lodge to enlist Archie and Jughead in a comedic mission to retrieve it before the whole town sees. With Archie’s charm and Jughead’s knack for distraction, the duo faces off against Veronica’s clever traps in a high-stakes, laugh-filled chase.

In "Baseball Error!", Veronica hatches a plan to keep Betty busy by suggesting she coach the Riverdale Pee Wee baseball team—just so she can’t spend time with Archie. Betty agrees, but enlists Archie and Jughead as umpires, turning the game into a chaotic mix of friendship, rivalry, and unexpected teamwork.

When Alex tries to scare Alan M. into backing off from Josie by faking a supernatural curse, the prank spirals when Valerie accidentally becomes the target—and hits back with her own brand of voodoo. A mix of mischief and mayhem unfolds as the fake spells escalate, leaving everyone wondering who’s really behind the spooky goings-on.

Betty’s simple mail-order doll arrives with an unexpected twin, and what starts as a minor mix-up quickly spirals into a full-blown doll dilemma. With each attempt to return the extra, things only get more chaotic—until suddenly, she’s not just dealing with two dolls, but more than she ever bargained for.

In "News and Views," Betty and Veronica take Mr. Weatherbee’s suggestion to spice up the school paper seriously—turning headlines into wild exaggerations that land them in hot water when one joke backfires on the principal himself. Written by an unnamed team and illustrated with classic Archie-style humor, the story captures the girls’ playful rivalry and sharp wit in a lighthearted, schoolroom satire.
