Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #195
In "Poor Butterfly," Betty Cooper faces a familiar burden: her teachers rely on her to stay after school, a testament to her dependability. Tired of being the go-to girl, she decides to test her limits by deliberately becoming the opposite—unreliable, just like Veronica. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1972 classic captures a quiet rebellion with a touch of humor. The cover by Dan DeCarlo perfectly captures Betty’s mischievous resolve.
