“You're Breaking My Art!”

In "You're Breaking My Art!", Archie takes a creative leap by entering the school art contest—only to mix things up when he uses Betty as a model and adds Veronica’s head to the portrait. When Betty discovers the surprise, her reaction sends the painting into a whole new realm of unintended genius, landing it a surprising win. The story, drawn with lively energy by Samm Schwartz, captures a classic Archie twist of friendship, rivalry, and artistic mischief, all framed by Bob Montana’s iconic cover art.
