Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #298

The sports-day spirit is in full swing on Dan DeCarlo's cover for this 1980 entry in the long-running series, where Veronica confidently announces she expects to win three track medals — only for Betty to deliver the perfectly timed reality check that Ronnie isn't even entered in the competition. The lower panel adds to the fun, showing Archie, Jughead, and Veronica — all sporting gold medals — alongside an athletically dressed Betty ready to compete, hinting at a day full of friendly rivalry at the track. It's a charming, lighthearted snapshot of Riverdale's favorite girls that captures exactly why Betty and Veronica remained such a warm-hearted staple of the Archie Comics lineup.
