Veronica #148
In "Anniversary Blues," Veronica grapples with a quiet heartache that’s not about Archie—Betty’s forgotten their friendship anniversary, and the real source of Veronica’s mood isn’t the date, but the silence around a bond that’s always mattered. Written and drawn by Dan Parent, with inks by Jon D'Agostino, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, this 2004 issue captures a tender moment of miscommunication, all rendered with the signature warmth and charm of the Archie universe. The cover, penciled by Parent and inked by D'Agostino, hints at the emotional undercurrents without giving away the true heart of the story.
Veronica Lodge is fuming over a forgotten milestone—only it’s not the anniversary with Archie Andrews that’s the real issue. Betty Cooper, thinking she’s helping, tries to comfort Veronica about Archie’s absence, completely missing the fact that Veronica’s heartbreak is about a much deeper bond. When secrets about who forgot what bubble up, even Hermione Lodge and Hiram Lodge can’t keep the chaos from spilling into the school’s annual picnic.
