Everything's Archie #9

Archie’s cash flow is in crisis, so Betty steps in as his financial advisor—only to deliver a hard truth: his car and Veronica are his biggest expenses. Now he’s got to choose which one to cut loose.

In "The Literary Lion," Archie spins a clever (if slightly lazy) plan to score free meals by pretending to be a food critic, penning reviews in his book *Dates and Where to Have Them*—all while keeping his real motive just a little too close to the menu.

In "Cold Day in July," Archie's casual attitude toward dating Betty sparks a rare moment of solidarity between Veronica and Betty, who both push him to take their friendship seriously. When Archie finally shows up for the date, Betty’s overwhelming excitement quickly spirals into a series of awkward mishaps that only she can cause.

Jughead’s latest lunchtime experiment—pizza-burgers—lands him in trouble when the school staff confiscates them… only to find they can’t resist taking a bite themselves. In this 1970 humor tale from *Everything's Archie #9*, the sheer deliciousness of his creation proves impossible to resist, even for teachers who should know better.
