Archie comic books issue 584

Talk about a bad connection - it's a 'Two Ring Circus' when Veronica gives Archie one of her father's prototype phones, even though the matching phone is Mr. Lodge's! To get out of a jam with Veronica, Archie asks Jughead to take the blame, and 'The Blame Game' begins when the deal is doomed to failure! Mr. Lodge has to think 'Outside the Box' when he enters the toy business and discover kids almost always love the box the toys comes in best! Finally, Dilton tries to give Archie the ink blot test, but when his cards are replaced with photos of Veronica, he thinks Archie is certifiably obsessed! 32 pages, full color. Cover price $2.25.
