Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #116

The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli sets a perfectly cheerful tone: Betty and Veronica stride through the front door in matching yellow soccer uniforms, both absolutely caked in mud, with Betty clutching a soccer ball and cheerfully calling out, "Mom! Dad! Coach said we played a good, clean game!" It's a warm, funny snapshot of the girls' easy friendship and their shared knack for turning a messy situation into a laugh. This 2000 digest packs in plenty of Archie Comics fun, with interior work from a solid creative team including writer Bob Bolling and artist Fernando Ruiz.
