Riverdale Revisions

Sabrina, isolated by the need to hide from a love interest that her aunts are witches, gets revealed. Funny, especially when this same basic premise of a set-up for the same basic pay-off is replayed-- their nature is revealed by simply their appearance in wit characters outfits. This within decades where they go about, witch outfits, with Mary a comment and only rarely any aspersions from mortals that they are witchy -- even when crazy things happen.

No "blab" available for Quebec, so it is "What I just told you must stay between us." Seems kinda formal.

A series of stories where everyone is running around in fur briefs and bikinis. Funny then that Dan Decarlo didn't draw more of them -- this instalment appears one of a small handful, so I kind of wonder how he was given the assignment on this one.

I note that even as they keep the layout pretty well identical, Samm Schwartz slides in a couple background gags. The saleswoman gives an eye roll to the fat woman and her bathing suit. A guy walks in and has his hat snagged by a tree. And complainers complain, I guess.

They dropped Mr. Lodges “wait until the boys at the club hear about this” in favor of a dazed shock, which does alter the meaning for him – Mr. Lodge processes it at a quicker clip.

Archie did it already though.

Quebec can't have a weak play on words for "miss take". Have to change to some "manipulation", whatever that be.

A later instance where we see Betty commenting on how hot she finds a passing girl, she regrets doing so aloud because of Archie's excited response. Here she wants to share the excitement with Archie. Complicated mix, she is either moving into or out of constantly putting dark sunglasses on him or otherwise blocking his vision from the girls. I am not sure how to arrange the continuity -- which panel happened first -- is Betty moving toward sharing the ogling ("male gaze") or moving to guarding this for herself?
