BETTY AND VERONICA COMICS DOUBLE DIGEST #230 started out with a fun new short story. It mainly focused on Veronica, who is fuming because "New Kid" Sheila Wu keeps attracting fashion pictures by Riverdale High School's newspaper. And, of course, this snatches away attention from Veronica.
Now let's take a moment and consider that Riverdale High has its own paparazzi that seek out fashion-conscious students and highlight their clothing achievements for all to see.
Back to the story... Veronica is determined to put Sheila in her place at the upcoming 2 Chic Divas Mega Concert and spends several panels scouring the stores and the internet for the perfect outfit. She really needs something that will grab everyone's attention!
Veronica finally finds the perfect dress and manages to one-up Sheila at the concert. Too bad Ronnie didn't realize earlier that she was wearing a Sheila Wu original! Oops!
This was a fun story and it made me laugh more than once.
But I really liked cameos by several supporting characters in this issue. Sheila Wu was central to the story, but Kevin Keller and Raj Patel also managed to appear. More importantly, we were treated to yet another appearance by Veronica's recently-introduced cousin, Harper Lodge (last seen here and here)! In fact, her appearance here was important to the final gag. It was good to see her again.
"Designing Divas" was written by Alex Simmons, penciled by Tim Levins, inked by Bob Smith, lettered by Jack Morelli, and colored by Digikore Studios.
