Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #272

In "The Long and the Short," Betty’s disappointment over a terrible movie she saw sets off a clever scheme from Dilton, who uses reverse psychology to help her feel better—telling her the film was actually great, hoping she’ll rethink her opinion. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature style—pencils and inks by DeCarlo, with coloring by Barry Grossman—this 1978 issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s Girls with a touch of playful wit. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the lighthearted mood of the story.
