Comments: "The Joke's On Us!" Its Jokester Jess vs Cousin Leroy. Veronica and Betty do set these two up but it is Veronica and Betty that get setup. All involved do have fun. Veronica even gets to be a little like her cousin. It is a great story and very uplifting. 
  "A Chip off the Old Bloke!" Veronica and Betty are showing a visitor around town. Both girls are kind of pushy in getting what they want. In the end it all works out for the best. The art is beautifully done in the classic style of Archie Comics. 
  "Too Many Weatherbees!" Wendy Weatherbee is in town visiting. Veronica being her usual self is jealous of Wendy. Everything that happens is just good fun though. 
  "Relatively Speaking!!" Betty's cousin Jessie comes for a visit. She does have her fun in town and with Betty's friends. But all good things come to a pause. 
  This issue is all about family. The denizens of Riverdale certainly do have some interesting relatives and they all know how to have fun.
