Betty #195

A classic diner setting frames this charming cover from 2012, where a starry-eyed Betty pleads with a flustered Archie to say "the three words I'm dying to hear" — only for the waiter to cheerfully deliver the punchline: "Separate checks please!" Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Jon D'Agostino give the scene that warm, expressive Riverdale energy, with floating hearts and a "Super Split" menu sign adding to the perfectly timed comedic moment. It's a delightful snapshot of Betty and Archie's endearingly lopsided romance, part of Archie's 70th Anniversary Classic celebration.
