☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Weigh Out," Betty and Veronica both sport the latest trend—paper dresses—but when the boys weigh in on their favorites, it’s Betty’s Sunday comics–based design that wins the day. Written by Dick Malmgren and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, inked by Rudy Lapick, and lettered by Bill Yoshida, this 1967 classic captures the playful rivalry of the two friends with a touch of vintage charm. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the fun, fashion-forward spirit of the issue.
In this lighthearted 1967 tale from *Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica* #143, Betty and Veronica both sport the latest trend—paper dresses—only to find their dates react differently when it comes to which one looks better. The boys are charmed by Betty’s choice, drawn to the fact her dress is made from the Sunday comics section.
In "Pool Rule," Veronica sets a series of strict new regulations for the swimming pool, determined to find a way to exclude Betty. When Betty accidentally breaks one of the rules, Archie follows suit—only for Veronica to realize she’s broken one too, and cleverly uses it to join them in exile. Mr. Lodge, meanwhile, quietly enjoys the rare peace of the empty pool.
