BETTY & VERONICA #245

SCRIPT: Kathleen Webb
ART: Jeff Shultz
“Eat Those Wordsâ€: Veronica enters a world she doesn’t understand: the supermarket, where items marked “cheap†are desirable, you have to pick a number and wait in line for cold cuts, and you scan and bag your own items!
SCRIPT: Mike Pellowski
ART: Jeff Shultz
“Good Old Daysâ€: A senior from the retirement home tells Betty and Veronica what it was like to be in the middle of a “love triangle†in an age without cell phones, texting and the internet!
SCRIPT: Mike Pellowski
