Disclose Notes: A panel from this story was mistakenly used as an example of Dan DeCarlo art in Vanity Fair's 65th anniversary piece on Archie comics. http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2006/12/archie200612

The name of Veronica's date, "Tex Daylor," is based on the name of Little Archie artist Dexter Taylor.
