Betty #117

A costume party is in full swing on this lively cover by penciler Stan Goldberg and inker Bob Smith, with Betty dressed as a jester and dramatically calling out "Kiss me, you fool!" to a grinning Archie in matching jester costume. A pirate-costumed character lounges at lower left while a smoldering Veronica — dressed in a cavewoman outfit — watches the scene from the right, looking thoroughly unamused. Published as part of Archie's 60th Anniversary celebration in 2002, this issue promises the kind of fun, costume-fueled comedy the series does so well.
