Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #9

In "The Cheerleaders," Betty and Veronica both aim for captain of the school’s cheerleading squad, turning tryouts into a friendly rivalry. Mr. Lodge, recalling his own youth, demonstrates some vintage cheers—much to his own comedic detriment—while the girls prepare for their big moment. After the tryouts, Betty shares her victory with Archie and Jughead, leaving the outcome of Veronica’s absence open-ended.

In "Corpse De Ballet," Veronica schemes to dodge her dance lesson duties by convincing Betty to take over teaching Mr. Weatherbee’s niece—leading to a hilariously awkward situation neither girl expected. With Veronica’s usual flair for mischief and Betty’s reluctant patience, the comic spins a lighthearted tale of teenage chaos and one misdirected dance class.

In "Speak Your Mind," Archie struggles to understand why Betty tolerates Veronica’s constant jabs—until Betty insists that true friends can be honest, even when it stings. Inspired, Archie tries the same blunt honesty with Veronica, only to quickly learn that some truths are better left unsaid.

In "Energy Crisis," Betty and Veronica rally at the beach, eager to get Archie and Reggie involved in some fun—whether it’s a game of catch or just about anything active. But the boys have other plans, content to lounge in the sun while the girls try to spark some energy into the day.

In "Picture Plot," Betty, confident in her own feelings, calls out Archie’s obsession with Veronica’s photos—claiming he’s only in love with her because of the wall of pictures. Her bold words echo in her own room, where her wall of Archie photos stands just as proudly.

In "The Net Set," Veronica finds herself smitten with a charming new tennis pro, setting off a whirlwind of plans and last-minute switches. When the pro is unexpectedly called away to coach a junior tour in Australia, Veronica must scramble to find a dance partner—leading her to enlist Jughead with a little persuasion.

In "Hang Ten," Betty tries to win Archie’s attention by showing off her surfing skills, but Veronica isn’t about to let her take the wave—literally or otherwise. With a mix of beachside rivalry and clever tactics, the two friends turn a simple day at the shore into a high-stakes showdown of confidence and charm.

In "Winner Lose," Reggie’s unexpected victory in a race against Archie earns him the chance to date Veronica—something he’s long dreamed of. But when Veronica’s father makes it clear he’s not thrilled with the arrangement, her excitement starts to fade.

In "Eye for Eye," Archie finds himself caught in a playful trap when Veronica pretends to have something in her eye, only to be outmaneuvered by Betty’s clever mimicry—leading Archie to send her to Jughead for a handkerchief, much to his surprise.
