Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #242
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Invalid," Archie and Reggie find themselves caught in a whirlwind of mistaken pride when they overhear Betty and Veronica discussing a coin toss to decide which boy gets a date—each assuming they’re the one being chosen. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style, this 1976 classic captures the playful tension of teenage rivalry, with inks by Jim DeCarlo, colors by Barry Grossman, and lettering by Bill Yoshida, all under a cover by Dan DeCarlo.
In "Toss Up," Archie and Reggie overhear Betty and Veronica discussing a coin toss to decide who gets to go on a date with a boy—only to both leap to the conclusion that they’re the one being chosen. The misunderstanding sets off a series of frantic, humorous attempts to outdo each other, all while the real prize remains delightfully unclear.
In "Dressmaker's Dummy," Veronica’s plans take a funny turn when she leaves a package for pickup, only to have her father mistake it for a new dress she secretly ordered—despite his strict no-shopping rule. His furious reaction sparks a playful rebellion, and Veronica finds herself unexpectedly determined to keep the dress after all.
