Betty #92

Betty and her friend are clearly onto something clever — a caller ID device boldly labeled "NOT ARCHIE" sits ringing on the table while the two girls share a delighted reaction in Betty's cheerful bedroom. Stan Goldberg's pencils and Bob Smith's inks give the December 2000 cover a warm, lived-in energy, with music notes floating through the air and a cozy bulletin board and stuffed animals filling out the background. It's a fun, relatable snapshot of teenage life that captures Betty's signature mix of humor and heart.
