Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #141
In "Poverty Program," Veronica takes a dramatic turn, staging a protest against the perks of wealth before dramatically embracing a life of poverty—by moving into a dilapidated beach shack she doesn’t realize is worth $80,000 and secretly owned by her father. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1967 classic captures the playful satire and charm that defined Archie’s Girls. The cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Vincent DeCarlo, perfectly captures the absurdity of the moment.
