Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #134

Jeff Shultz delivers a sun-soaked beach scene on this 2005 digest cover, where Veronica lounges in sunglasses while a startled Betty reacts to Archie — completely draped in dripping seaweed — emerging from the ocean in the background. The speech bubble deadpans that Archie "went to check if there's any seaweed in the ocean today," and the gag lands perfectly, promising the kind of breezy, laugh-out-loud humor packed into every page of this Archie Digest Library collection.
