Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #70

In "Watch It!", Li'l Jinx proudly shows off her new wristwatch—boasting it’s self-winding, shockproof, waterproof, and even has an automatic calendar—only to reveal it’s already broken, dead on arrival. Her dad’s proud description of its features clashes perfectly with her dry, understated punchline: “It isn’t Li’l Jinx Proof.”

In "A Stranger in Paradise," Betty’s relentless devotion to Archie reaches new heights when she suddenly appears—out of nowhere—to fuss over him after a minor injury, leaving even Archie stunned. Veronica isn’t far behind, declaring Betty utterly insane for her obsession, but the real question is: how did Betty get there so fast, and why does she always seem to know exactly when he needs her?

In "Sand Blast," Betty and Archie rally the Riverdale gang to build a massive sand castle in the mall as a charity fundraiser—everyone pitches in except Veronica and Reggie, who’d rather spend their time enjoying the day.

Jo and the Pussycats find themselves in the Australian outback when Alexander arranges a photoshoot for a magazine spread, only to discover that the wild, untamed landscape—and its native wildlife—has a very different idea about how to pose than the pampered Cabot.

In "Barely Covered," Betty decides to sunbathe in her backyard, unaware that Archie, trying to be chivalrous, misinterprets the scene and rushes to shield her from view—without actually looking. The moment sparks a quiet, awkward comedy of mistaken intentions, as Archie’s earnest but misguided attempt to protect her honor unfolds in classic Riverdale style.

In "Bitter Lemon," Betty finds herself unexpectedly in the spotlight when she agrees to watch a neighbor girl’s lemonade stand for just a few minutes—only to discover that a simple favor quickly turns into a whirlwind of attention from every boy in the neighborhood, much to Veronica’s growing annoyance.

In "Cover Girls," Betty and Veronica find themselves in a playful rivalry when photographers consider using one of their swimsuit photos for the cover of Sportsman magazine. Veronica tries to ensure she’s the only option by leveraging her father’s connections to get Betty hired as a lifeguard, but when Veronica ends up in trouble on a jet ski, it’s Betty who comes to her rescue—leading to a surprising turn of events for the magazine’s cover.
