Betty & Veronica fascinate me. It’s a testament to their friendship that they stay friends even though they are also rivals for Archie. Most times you’d see that devolve into something you’d have to pay to see on late night TV. Anyway, Riverdale’s best BFFs are back in next week’s Betty & Veronica Double Digest #160. Veronica is subsidizing the local economy, but when the credit card bills come in, Mr. Lodge is none to happy. Will Ronnie have to obtain gainful employment? Will she spend her paycheck in one swoop when she gets to the first boutique she sees? We’ll have to wait and see. As for Betty, she and her mother go to a spin class. Betty thinks it’s just as boring as I do, but her mom has some helpful hints which make it an experience to remember!
As always, the Archie line of Double Digests give you 160 pages of content for a mere $3.99. Pick one up, and you’re guaranteed a read that won’t be done in 5 minutes, and your wallet will thank you, too! Enjoy the preview!
BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #190
“Pop Ups Here” and “New Spin”
In “Pop Ups Here,” Veronica begins to feel the financial pinch and may have to (gasp) get a job! But while shopping she comes up with a solution on how to keep stores at the mall from closing and help Mr. Lodge and his business. Next, “New Spin” finds Betty’s plans to go bike riding ruined by the rain. When she decides to ride a stationary bike at the gym instead, she finds the experience a wild ride of imagination and excitement
