Betty and Veronica Comics Digest Magazine #97
In "Picture Not-So-Perfect," the gang’s picnic plans hit a snag when a gas shortage leaves them stranded—literally. With no fuel, they improvise by rigging a sail on Archie’s jalopy, managing a breezy trip to the countryside, only to face a long, windless push back home. Written by George Gladir and brought to life with vibrant energy by Stan Goldberg, Jon D'Agostino, Barry Grossman, and Bill Yoshida, this classic slice-of-life adventure captures the charm of small-town summers. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Henry Scarpelli perfectly captures the lighthearted, nostalgic spirit of the issue.
