Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #205
In "Life's a Ball," Veronica’s accidental viral fame as "Volleyball Girl" takes a surprising turn when her internet stardom fizzles after a lack of spontaneity—prompting her to ditch the spotlight for a swim with Betty. Written and illustrated by Dan Parent, with inks by Jim Amash and colors by Barry Grossman, this lighthearted slice of Riverdale life captures the chaos of online fame with a dash of classic Archie charm. The cover by Dan Parent perfectly caps off the moment just before the next viral moment—Jughead’s phone filming a shark fin cutting through the water.
