Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #62

In "Classic Comedy!", Archie finds himself in a whirlwind of mishaps when he’s enlisted as a living mannequin for Betty’s fashion display. When a neighbor boy gets stuck in a tree, Archie must climb after him—still wearing Betty’s dress—only to find the whole town (and the news media) showing up to witness the chaos.

In "Deal Spiel," Archie finds himself unexpectedly handed an extra five hundred dollars after a bank machine glitch, but his peace is short-lived when Veronica and a slick used car salesman tempt him to trade his trusty old jalopy for something far flashier. With temptation on all sides and his wallet suddenly heavy, Archie must decide whether to stay true to his roots or give in to the siren song of a shiny new ride.

In "Paddle Faddle," Archie, Betty, and Veronica gather at the Lodge mansion for a table tennis tournament, but the real game might be the quiet tension between Archie and Betty—whose focus seems less on the ping-pong and more on each other.

In "Just Name It," Mr. Lodge gives Betty free rein for a week, and she seizes the chance to throw a grand birthday party for Archie at the Lodge mansion—despite it not being his birthday. With a whirlwind of plans, decorations, and guest lists, Betty’s enthusiasm quickly spirals into chaos, testing the limits of hospitality and good intentions.

In "Swell Feat," Melody hatches a clever plan to help Sock and Pepper share a dance at the school sock hop, where partners are matched by the shoes girls pick up. With a mix of mischief and heart, she sets out to make sure Sock’s footwear stands out—just in time for the night’s most unexpected moment.

In "Ruled Out," a simple misstatement by Melody sets off a chain of misunderstandings when she tells Pepper, "You can't bring a dog into school"—a rule Pepper never intended to break. Suddenly, everyone assumes Pepper either has a dog hidden somewhere or is planning to smuggle one in, turning a routine school day into a whirlwind of suspicion and confusion.

Jo and her friends sneak into Mr. Lodge’s office and hijack his video recorder, turning his corporate message into a chaotic, over-the-top exercise routine. With the camera rolling, they turn his board meeting into a spontaneous dance workout—just as he’s about to return.

In "The Playmates," Hilda and Zelda, ever the eccentric aunts, take a whimsical turn when they decide to help Sabrina feel more connected at school—transforming into teens themselves to hang out with her and ease her sense of isolation. The trio’s unlikely friendship unfolds with charm and humor, as the sisters navigate the highs and lows of high school life from a very unusual perspective.

In "Seeing Stars," Betty enlists Archie’s help to set up a telescope for the Astronomy Club’s Halley’s Comet viewing, but Veronica isn’t about to let the moment pass without stirring things up—her playful tactics slowly turn the night into a test of who can outwit whom, all while the stars above remain oblivious.
