Betty & Veronica (Jumbo Comics) Double Digest #253

When Amy and Harvey take the stage at a beach battle of the bands, Sabrina isn’t about to be outdone—she’s trading her magic for a guitar and joining Josie and the Pussycats in a showdown of talent and sass.

Sabrina casts a spell to officially welcome a new member into the Pussycats, clearing their schedule so they can compete in the Battle of the Beach Bands. With a wave of her wand, she expands the Pussycats’ house, adding an east wing and a full practice hall—just in time for rehearsals and late-night jam sessions.

When Josie loses her voice just before the battle of the bands, Aunt Hilda’s magical fix for Sabrina comes with a hilarious twist: every word Sabrina speaks now bursts into song. The Pussycats scramble to keep the act together, but with Sabrina’s new singing curse, even a simple "hello" turns into a full performance.

In "Clean-Up Hitter," Betty and Veronica stumble upon an otherworldly visitor quietly tidying up Riverdale’s parks and rivers—just in time for the arrival of Queen Zelda from the planet Julius. As the girls team up with the alien to keep the town spotless, they find themselves caught between helping a friendly extraterrestrial and navigating the strange, sudden changes sweeping through their hometown.

In "Cabin Fever," Veronica ropes Archie into a weekend at Mr. Lodge's cabin, promising a relaxing getaway. But Archie’s well-meaning efforts to help quickly turn the trip into a series of escalating mishaps that leave Mr. Lodge flustered and bewildered.

In "Castle Hassle," Veronica is all in on building the world's largest sand castle with her friends, but Mr. Lodge has other plans—he wants her to cut the ribbon at his new ice cream store. When she declines, he spins the moment into a publicity stunt by turning the sand castle into his next big marketing move.

In "Night School," Cheryl finds herself drowning in her own busy schedule—so much so that studying takes a backseat. When Dilton suggests she listen to her notes while sleeping, she’s intrigued by the idea of learning without lifting a book.
