Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #256

Apr 1977 · Archie · 0.30 USD
“Betty's Bonnet”

In "Betty's Bonnet," a playful twist on a classic commandment takes center stage as Veronica invokes "Thou shalt not covet" to gently tease Betty about her feelings for Archie—only to spark a hilarious chain reaction where everyone in Riverdale starts saying "covet" just for the fun of it. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm, the story captures the lighthearted spirit of the era, with vibrant colors by Barry Grossman and crisp lettering by Bill Yoshida. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the comic’s whimsical tone.

Veronica quotes the commandment "Thou shalt not covet" to explain why Betty should stop trying to get Archie. Soon everyone is quoting the word "covet" because it's fun to say.
