Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #229

Veronica’s new dress is a showstopper—too bad the school’s heating system fails just as she arrives. Forced to keep her coat on all day, she’s left wondering if anyone will ever see her stylish outfit.

In "Strange Love," Sabrina’s jealousy flares when she sees Harvey with another girl, prompting her to cast a spell on Archie to make him obsessively in love with her—just to get back at Harvey. But when Veronica shows up, furious at Archie’s sudden affection, Sabrina must quickly undo the magic and wipe away the memories before things get out of hand.

Veronica sets out to expose Brenda Parr’s lack of journalistic savvy by planting a wildly implausible story, betting that only someone as gullible as Brenda would fall for it—though she doesn’t count on how far Brenda might go to prove her worth.

Veronica jets to Milan chasing a one-of-a-kind prom gown, while Betty, ever the crafty rival, finds the same design online and sews it by hand for Ethel—two very different approaches to the same dream, with a dash of high fashion and quiet competition in the air.

In "Career Sphere," Veronica finds herself unexpectedly intrigued by a career day presentation—though her interest isn’t about her future, but about how different paths might help her steer Archie away from Betty. With her usual flair, she starts exploring options not for herself, but as part of a larger, subtly strategic game.

In "Blue Snow Falling," Betty faces a snowy moral dilemma when she must decide whether to help Archie dig his van out of the snow—just in time for a pizza delivery to Veronica's house—while her conscience literally takes the form of an angel and a devil arguing on her shoulders. The winter chill and the weight of the choice make every step toward the van feel like a battle of wills.

In "It’s Snow Art," Little Archie and the gang set out to impress Mr. Lodge’s party guests with a snow sculpture, but tempers flare when Reggi and Archie can’t agree on the design. What starts as a creative project quickly turns into a chaotic snowball fight, turning the snowy yard into a battlefield of laughter and flying snow.
