Comments: “What’s The Word?” Veronica is planning a big pool party. She is going all out. Her friends though are more interested in playing a word guessing game.
Stacy Banks is a new character in the Archie Universe and she is a young businesswoman. A very beautiful one. She does make a nice addition to the Archie gang. Veronica is stressing out over her party and Stacy saves the day. She does not even have to try she just naturally does so.
“Waterparked!” Veronica and her friends are having fun at a water park that for the day is just for them. Then they start inviting more friends. So a private party turns into an all-out wild party with a filled park. There is lots of fun at the park and lots of bikini girls looking gorgeous, the guys are drawn great too.
“The Joker Is Wild” Alex Cabot does enjoy a good joke as long as it’s not on him. It is all in good fun for Alex until it’s not. The poor guy.
“Automation Vacation” Jughead matches wits with a robot at the beach. A computer mind vs the weird mind of Jughead. He never gives up though.
“Fall Guys” It’s Archie and Betty vs Jason and Cheryl is a wrestling match with Regie and Veronica running it. This is fun to watch and of course, the two in charge get a taste of the fun too.
It is always such great fun to follow along with Archie and all the rest and during summer we see all the fun they can have.
