Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #65
In "Talk About Trouble," Veronica’s plan to talk to her dad about a new sportscar sets off a chain of misunderstandings that leaves Archie fuming and Mr. Lodge oddly relieved. When Archie storms off after being subtly pushed out, a chance encounter with the Lodge family butler, Smithers, reveals just how much the patriarch was waiting for a misstep that never came. Cover by Dan DeCarlo, this 1997 Double Digest issue captures the classic Archie charm with a twist of quiet humor and heartfelt moments, all drawn by Dan DeCarlo Jr. and colored by Alisa Merrill.

Veronica is going to talk to her dad about a new sportscar. At Veronica's house, Mr. Lodge keeps waiting for Archie to mess up, but he never does. Worried, he gets Veronica to ask Archie to leave. Angry, Archie stomps off and runs into Smithers, the Lodge's butler. Seeing the calamity, Mr. Lodge is at once relaxed, telling Veronica that if she wants to discuss her new sportscar, he'll be in his study. Overjoyed, Veronica rushes to a confused Archie and kisses him.
