Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #17
In "Bigger and Bitter," Reggie stumbles upon a curious shoe store display—only right-foot shoes—and recalls Betty’s mention of Jughead’s odd grab bag from an auction, filled entirely with left-foot shoes. With a mix of mischief and curiosity, the duo tracks down both boxes, setting off a lighthearted chain of events that quickly spirals in unexpected ways. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with inks by Herb Holmdale and letters by Terry Szenics, this 1955 classic captures the charm and humor of Archie’s Girls with a perfectly absurd premise. Cover by Harry Lucey.
