Betty #74

Betty's in her "Stars" baseball uniform, leaning against the dugout wall with a grinning Archie a little too close for comfort — while a bewildered coach marches over demanding to know what's going on. Betty's breezy reply — "Archie is coaching me on the squeeze play!" — sets up a perfectly timed double meaning that's pure Archie Comics charm. Cover art by Stan Goldberg and Henry Scarpelli keeps the gag light and lively, with a packed crowd of onlookers adding to the fun of this June 1999 issue.
