“Artists and Models”

In "Artists and Models," Archie’s sketchpad becomes the center of a quiet storm of teenage tension as Veronica poses for him—only to discover his drawings aren’t portraits, but playful, heartfelt doodles. When he tries to hide the truth, her curiosity turns to determination, leading to a second painting that’s tragically destroyed. The aftermath reveals a moment of unexpected emotion, and a final line from Archie sends Veronica’s expression spiraling. George Frese handles both art and inks with his signature charm, while Bill Vigoda’s cover captures the scene’s delicate drama.

Veronica's posing for Archie, but he's not painting her portrait. He's drawing flirtatious slogans, as he stares at her with love in his eyes. Class ends, and she wants to see it. Not wanting to show her what he's done, he tells her no. She demands to see it the next day. Worried, he makes a second painting, and Veronica likes it. The second painting gets destroyed. This leads Veronica to find the original painting, and she stares at it with love in her eyes. When she asks Archie about it, he tells her, "I did that one of Betty!" Her expression changes, and she smashes it over his head.
