“The Commuter”

In "The Commuter," Betty takes on the role of Big Sister to the Riverdale Boy Sprouts, tricking Archie into joining the outing with promises of a picnic. When the rain forces the group indoors, Betty finds herself unexpectedly outmatched by the other Big Sisters' attention—and her own leadership role starts to feel a little too heavy. Written by Frank Doyle and illustrated by Harry Lucey, with a cover by Samm Schwartz, this 1961 classic captures the charm and gentle chaos of teenage camaraderie in Riverdale.
