Betty and Me #129

Stan Goldberg's cover for this 1982 entry in the long-running Betty and Me series captures the cheerful chaos of the Annual Picnic, where Betty eagerly tells Archie she's "ready to run whenever you are" — only for him to reply with a grin, "Who said anything about running, Betty?" The two-panel gag plays out in sunny outdoor style, with a crowd of Riverdale teens gathered around what looks like a three-legged race, while a separate corner vignette hints at even more picnic-day mischief with costumed figures. George Gladir's storytelling instincts pair perfectly with Goldberg's warmly expressive linework, making this a delightfully breezy slice of Archie Comics fun.
