Betty #164
In "A Shoe Thing," Betty and the Riverdale crew rally around a beloved local ice cream vendor facing closure, organizing a heartfelt variety show to save his shop. With Stan Goldberg’s vibrant art bringing the town’s charm to life and Bob Smith’s dynamic cover capturing the spirit of the effort, this 2007 issue blends small-town solidarity with classic Archie-style humor.
Polly’s surprised when a real, physical letter shows up in her mailbox—only to discover it was mailed during her senior year, lost in the postal system all this time. Written in a nostalgic hand, it’s a message from her past that’s finally found its way to her, full of memories and questions left unanswered.
When the beloved ice cream vendor Custard faces closing shop after decades of serving Riverdale’s kids, Betty and the gang rally to save his shop with a heartfelt, chaotic variety show — all to keep a sweet tradition alive.
