In "Rumor Has It," Archie Annual #17 (1965), a simple miscommunication spirals into chaos when Archie asks Betty to pass a single phrase—“You, too!”—to Veronica, setting off a chain reaction of misunderstandings. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s inks, this classic tale captures the escalating drama of teenage gossip, all capped by Harry Lucey’s expressive cover and Mario Acquaviva’s dynamic inks.
