Two good pin-ups & two good stories, so good all around.
The first story was gimmicky, but it carried it through well enough that I'm willing put aside my doubts that any drive-in ever stocked fresh celery. It was interesting how Betty and Archie both got what they wanted out of a movie and that Betty's first comments were about the visuals while Archie remained fixated on the audio. Jughead the villain? He was the hero!
With the second story, I was a little surprised Betty & Veronica were offended by the male attention: at least half the time that's what they're after. I think Jughead lucked out, too: I thought they were gonna let him have it for not being interested. It kinda made up for his treatment in the first story, I think.
The first story is kind of odd but I love Drive-ins so I liked it. There were some stories later on in the Archie comics where Jughead actually showed some interest in women.
