World of Archie (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #41
In "Foul Bawl," Veronica and Betty clash over a valuable-looking art piece—until a playful pricing mistake turns the argument into a surprise gesture. When Betty buys it for Veronica, the joke lands harder than expected, drawing Mr. Lodge into a scheme that backfires in ways neither girl saw coming. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Vincent DeCarlo, the issue’s charm lies in its lighthearted tension and clever misdirection. The cover by Jeff Shultz and Bob Smith captures the moment just before the chaos unfolds.

Veronica and Betty argue over the worth of an art piece. After the piece is repriced (by moving the decimal point 2 places left), Betty buys the piece for Veronica, who is duly impressed. When Mr. Lodge expresses concern for Betty’s finances, she lets him in on the joke. He persuades Veronica to sell it for charity, but his plan backfires.
