Betty and Veronica #179

At the Baton Twirling Championship, a flustered Veronica in her twirling costume clutches the gold trophy and protests, "So I make ONE bad twirl and I'm disqualified!" — while a dazed judge sits stunned on the ground nearby and Betty looks on from the side. Jeff Shultz and Henry Scarpelli bring real comedic energy to this 2002 installment, capturing the chaos of competition with the kind of warm humor that makes Betty and Veronica such a pleasure. "One Tough Cookie" looks to be exactly the sort of lighthearted Riverdale romp fans of the series will enjoy.
