Betty #170
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Second Hand Girl," Betty faces holiday pressure with a pair of bold choices: tutoring Archie in math and declaring a one-week silence toward both Veronica and Archie. Written by Barbara Slate and brought to life with Stan Goldberg’s signature art and Rich Koslowski’s inks, this 2008 issue captures Betty’s quiet determination in a moment of personal stakes. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly frames the mix of humor and heart at the story’s core.
In "A Case of Stressmas," Betty tries to keep the holidays calm by tackling two big tasks: tutoring Archie in math and temporarily cutting off all communication with Veronica—just to avoid the usual holiday chaos. With her usual mix of practicality and heart, she’s determined to make Christmas stress-free, one awkward conversation at a time.
In "The Collector," Betty’s casual purchase of a toy penguin at a flea market sets off a hilarious misunderstanding when Archie and Adam mistakenly believe she’s a serious penguin enthusiast—leading to an avalanche of penguin-themed gifts for her birthday. The story captures the charm of small-town humor and the awkward charm of well-meaning friends gone overboard.
