“Once a Pond a Time”
In "Once a Pond a Time," Betty’s heart swells at the thought of a moonlight dinner with Archie—only to learn her efforts were for Veronica. George Frese’s art brings the small-town charm and quiet drama to life, capturing the moment just before the truth sinks in. The cover, by Bob Montana, perfectly encapsulates the sweet, mischievous tension of the moment.
