Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #236
In "Needles and Pins," Betty lands two tickets to a concert by the delightfully named "The Funny Named Group"—a band whose name was a last-minute compromise. To avoid a confrontation, Veronica quickly claims Archie’s already committed to a flower show with her, setting up a classic rivalry moment with just the right mix of charm and mischief. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, the issue’s cover by Dan DeCarlo captures the playful tension perfectly.

Betty gets two tickets to a concert by "The Funny Named Group" (they chose that name because all the other funny names were already taken). To keep Betty from asking Archie, Veronica claims that Archie's already going to a flower show with her.
