Archie #504

The gang hits the gym in this cheerful 2001 installment, with Archie pedaling an exercise bike and quipping "How about TWO good reasons!" in response to a skeptical Jughead on the treadmill — those two reasons being Veronica lifting dumbbells and Betty working out on a rowing machine nearby. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Bob Smith's inks bring the Riverdale crew to life with their usual warm energy, capturing a perfectly relatable scene of teen motivation. It's a fun, light-hearted slice of Archie charm that makes it easy to see why this series has always felt so enduringly welcoming.
