In "Losers Can Be Choosers," Veronica convinces Betty to join a beach volleyball tournament, promising elite help—only to reveal the "pros" are a dress designer, a photographer, and a cosmetics expert. With the game on the line and the team’s confidence in question, Betty’s skepticism meets Veronica’s charm in a summer showdown that’s equal parts fun and friendship-tested. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Al Milgrom, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, the cover by Jeff Shultz and Al Milgrom captures the playful spirit of the moment.
