Comments: “Babbi’s Riverdale Beach Party!” Babbi is a role model for all the teen girls. So everyone is going crazy over Babbi. Veronica’s mother has a special guest for Veronica’s party. There is a message to this story and it is a good one.
“Endless Summer!” Bridgitte is giving a concert and things turn out differently. Briditte sure does make a lot of money for just sitting around. Veronica needs to learn how to mind her own business. She does stick her nose into places where it does not belong.
“Beach Party Mystery” The beach scenes look fun. A mystery happens and it’s up to Archie to solve it he uses his brain and Heaven helps us all. The mystery does get solved and it’s not exactly what you might expect.
“Volley Folly” Chuck comes up with a cool idea that involves Jughead. Jughead finds out the power of suggestion is a powerful thing. He is susceptible to his imagination.
“Smells Like Teen Spirits!” Sabrina puts in an appearance and magical trouble follows for Veronica and Betty. It’s a good thing they have a friendly witch looking out for them of course if not for Sabrina there would have been no trouble to begin with. The girls do look cute in their bathing suits in this story.
“Beat Treat” Betty made a few New Year’s Resolutions and she kind of cheated as these are all ones she would have kept anyway. It’s so unlike Betty to cheat.
Archie and the gang have so much fun at the beach you will find yourself wishing you could join them.
