Veronica #161
In "Sick & Wired," Veronica finds herself trapped between two extremes—ordered to rest after over-exertion, yet struggling to stay still when boredom threatens to overwhelm her. Written and drawn by Dan Parent, with inks by Jim Amash and colors by Barry Grossman, this 2005 issue captures Veronica’s familiar energy even when confined to her bed. The cover, penciled by Parent and inked by Jon D'Agostino, perfectly mirrors the story’s mix of fatigue and restless spirit.
In "Sick & Wired," Veronica finds herself trapped between the exhaustion of overdoing it and the quiet dread of doing nothing at all—forced to stay in bed, she must navigate the restless space between burnout and boredom, where even the smallest choices feel like a test.
In "Pizza My Mind," Veronica enlists Betty to deliver pizzas for her dad Pop, but soon finds herself watching the clock—especially when Betty keeps showing up at Archie’s door. The routine delivery route takes an unexpected turn as old tensions and new feelings start to simmer.
