Betty and Me #123

A sunny day on the water sets the scene for this 1981 entry in the long-running Archie series, with Stan Goldberg's cover telling a breezy three-panel story: Betty grumbles about rowing her little boat, Archie confidently invites her aboard his, and the punchline has both of them clinging to a speeding motorboat as Betty wryly declares she was better off rowing. It's the kind of lighthearted, relatable humor that made Betty and Me such a dependable charm, and the splash action in the banner art above only adds to the lakeside fun.
