so wait is that Archie's old jalopy Betsy??

What is it with that new style in the Jughead book, lol? It looks kinda quick drawn and weird. I've seen a few styles like that.

I agree the art on that Jughead's double digest is a bit.... odd.  I really like the inking, though. 

The art on Jughead's Double Digest does seem quite odd...but then again, I bet some of us thought the same way when other artists came into the fold.

Terry Austin on Archie? Wow, Terry is pretty up there in terms of talented inkers. I didn't think he would ever have the time to work on non-DC or Marvel properties.
