Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #76

A Home Economics class has never looked quite this chaotic — on Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli's cover, Betty proudly shows off a modest plaid dress she sewed from fabric scraps, while Veronica reveals she used those same scraps to fashion a rather tiny bikini, much to the wide-eyed delight of a grinning Archie watching from the side. The contrast between the two girls' very different interpretations of the assignment is perfectly played, with floating hearts and a stunned onlooker adding to the fun. This 1995 digest packs in a great collection of Betty and Veronica stories, and that cover alone sets a wonderfully playful tone for everything inside.
