Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #212

In "Loco-Motions," Betty insists that walking is the one activity where her friendship with Veronica remains fair—no fancy gadgets, no inherited perks. Veronica, determined to keep things even, quietly keeps her custom-made sneakers a secret, setting the stage for a playful race that tests more than just speed.

In "Heart of Stone," Mr. Lodge, stung by Veronica calling him a pushover, declares he’ll no longer bend to her requests—especially when she asks to attend a dance he’s never heard of. But when his strict refusal only fuels her determination, his plan to prove a point quickly unravels in ways he didn’t expect.

When Sabrina brings her young cousin Esmeralda to the movies, the night quickly turns chaotic—because Esmeralda has her own ideas about what to watch, and her magic makes sure everyone knows it. With a mix of mischief and mayhem, the two navigate a theater full of surprises, one misfired spell at a time.

In "Success Story," Betty and Veronica dismiss Miss Grundy as unremarkable—until they learn she once taught the brilliant Dr. Mary Hoffman, the very scientist they’ve admired. The revelation reshapes their view of her quiet dedication, uncovering a legacy they never saw.

In "Action Faction," the Riverdale cheerleaders are all energy and pom-poms, leading their squad to victory in the stands—so focused on their own performance that they don’t notice their football team is getting utterly outmatched, trailing 40 to nothing.

In "Horsing Around," Veronica's sudden obsession with horseback riding stirs curiosity — and mild suspicion — in Betty, who wonders if the real rider in this story isn’t the horse, but a certain charming stablehand.

In "Oui, Oui, Fifi!", the new girl from France, Fifi, quickly becomes the talk of the school, drawing admiration from every boy—except Archie. Betty and Veronica are baffled by his indifference, setting off a mix of curiosity and playful rivalry as they try to figure out why Archie isn’t swept off his feet.

In "Frantic Antics!", Archie’s wild ploy to convince Veronica to go steady backfires when he pretends to have lost his mind—only for Reggie and Betty to step in with their own scheme, devising a plan to make Betty appear insane in hopes of winning Veronica’s approval. The chaos unfolds as the trio’s escalating antics spiral into a whirlwind of misunderstandings, all while the real question remains: who will end up truly unhinged?

In "Unstable Table," Betty takes a job as a waitress at a local diner, only to find herself flustered when Archie and Janice walk in—on a date. The tension rises as Janice’s sharp remarks and dismissive attitude toward both Betty and the restaurant’s owner make for an awkward evening.

Betty’s stuck cleaning the fireplace while Veronica heads off to the big dance—until a fairy godmother magically appears, whisking her away in a sparkly gown. With a dash of magic and a pinch of envy, Betty’s night takes a whimsical turn no one saw coming.

When Veronica’s mischievous second cousin Pamela turns fourteen, her bold personality and striking new presence make her a sudden focal point at Riverdale High—especially when she sets her sights on Archie, much to Veronica’s chagrin.

When Archie and Betty both cancel their plans—Archie after donating his money to charity, and Betty stuck watching a kid—they’re left scrambling to explain why, each too nervous to tell the other the real reason. A sweet, awkward tangle of good intentions and miscommunication unfolds in just six pages.
