Archie comic books issue 580

Christmas Issue - Celebrate Christmas in Riverdale style! In 'A Not-So-Cool Yule' Archie has a stress-free holiday season, until both Betty and Veronica give him 'matching sweaters' that they expect him to wear, except that the designs the girls chose don't match! It's 'Cold Comfort' when Veronica thinks Archie is being chivalrous about her onion breath, when he merely has a cold! The sight of Archie with a tool kit grip Mr. Lodge and Smithers with an unspeakable in 'The Fix Is In.'
