Betty's Diary #13

Betty dashes to the store to pick up supplies for her dad’s barbecue, careful to keep the plans a secret—especially from Jughead, who’s been warned not to know. But when she spots him at the checkout, the tension’s already cooking, and the only thing hotter than the grill is the look on her face.

In "Bear Fare," Archie’s world tilts when he learns Betty’s baking is for someone named Andy—only to discover the name belongs to a bear at the Riverdale Zoo, not a rival suitor. The story unfolds with quiet charm as Archie’s jealousy gives way to a surprisingly sweet, if slightly confused, understanding.

Betty wakes from a nightmare about Veronica discovering her diary, and the rest of her day only gets worse—from spilled milk to a ruined outfit and a missed bus. In "Perfect Day!" from Betty's Diary #13 (1987), every small misstep piles up, turning what should be a simple day into a chaotic mess.
