Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #250

Veronica is stunned when she learns her father’s company is behind a female mud wrestling contest—and she’s determined to shut it down, even if it means going head-to-head with the man who raised her. With her usual flair and sharp wit, she sets out to expose the event, but the more she digs, the more tangled the situation becomes.

In "The Cost of Living," Betty and Archie find themselves working side by side at a local grocery store, each saving up for the big prom. As the event draws near, the growing tension between them deepens when Archie reveals he’s taking Veronica instead of Betty.

In "Gum Shoo," Betty’s defiant bubble gum chewing takes an unexpected turn when Veronica’s offhand comment about it being harmless sparks a chain of bizarre events. What starts as a minor rebellion quickly spirals into something far more surreal—leaving both girls to wonder just how far a simple piece of gum can go.

Veronica teams up with a professional sculptor to take on Betty and Archie in a snowy showdown at a local sculpture contest, determined to keep the five-hundred-dollar prize out of their hands—no matter how much fun they’re having together.

Veronica Lodge finds herself staying with the Coopers while her bedroom gets a fresh coat of paint, and in just one night, she manages to turn a simple visit into a masterclass in social missteps—trying to compliment their "quaint, provincial cottage" only makes things worse.
