Betty #154

A perfectly relatable moment of teenage multitasking gone wrong greets you on this 2006 Archie Comics issue, with Betty caught chatting on the phone while her exasperated mother stands in the doorway holding the vacuum she clearly expected Betty to use — not her hands. A dresser overflowing with stuffed animals, a framed photo on the floor, and the priceless speech bubble ("When I asked you to pick up the dirt… I meant with a vacuum!") give the cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith a warmth that's pure Riverdale charm. Inside, writer Bill Golliher and artist Stan Goldberg (inked by John Lowe) bring that same sunny energy to "The Ardent Beau!" — a great pick for fans of Betty's endearing, everyday adventures.
