Dick Wakes Up
Personally, I'd rather listen to Jiminy Cricket as my conscience, instead of "Good Judgment."

Writing Better Social Letters
Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, people actually assembled "pen" and "paper" and "envelope" and "stamp," composed their thoughts in an unhurried fashion without electronic distractions, and sat down to "write a letter."

Veronica in Wonderland
I presume that Archie is not hallucinating here, and that Veronica's Alice-like abilities are canonical, part of the Riverdale continuity. And I look forward to her future exploits.
