Betty and Me #127

The ski slopes have never looked more daunting than in this cheerful 1982 installment of Betty and Me! On a snowy hillside beside a trail difficulty sign, a confident Betty in her red jacket asks Archie how he'd like to get down the hill — and a visibly trembling Archie, bundled in a blue jacket and colorful scarf with ski goggles pushed up on his head, manages only one terrified word: "Alive!" Dan DeCarlo's cover art captures the warm comedy of these two familiar favorites perfectly, with a ski lift looming in the background as if escape is tantalizingly out of reach.
