☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Good Work If You Can Get It," the Pussycats face a roadblock when their van gets repossessed, leading to a surprising twist: Alexandra offers a new one—on the condition they rebrand as "Alexandra the Great." Their first stop? A Central American republic, where a single song from Alexandra ignites something far bigger than a concert. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo with inks by Rudy Lapick and letters by Bill Yoshida, this story blends music, mischief, and international intrigue, all wrapped in Jeff Shultz’s vibrant cover art.
In "Good Work If You Can Get It," Veronica ropes in Betty and the others for a beach day, hoping to make the most of her rare free time—only to find the plan comes with more responsibility than she bargained for. With Betty on lifeguard duty and the kids in tow, the usual fun gets complicated, and even the sunniest day can’t keep everyone from feeling the strain.
Betty and Veronica trade the sticky heat of summer for a trek up a mountain where snow still clings to the peak, seeking relief in the cool silence above the trees. With the trail ahead uncertain and the air thinning, the two friends find more than just shade—they find a moment suspended between the world they know and something quieter, stranger, just beyond reach.
When the Pussycats lose their van to repossession, Alexandra steps in with a flashy new ride—on one condition: they rebrand as "Alexandra the Great." Their first stop? A Central American republic, where Alexandra’s unexpected performance ignites something far bigger than a concert.
Veronica gets a brainstorm after spotting Betty’s compact umbrella, leading her to enlist Lodge Industries’ engineers in designing a collapsible cabana for their beach trip. With a mix of high-tech flair and playful ingenuity, the duo sets out to turn summer plans into a portable paradise.
