Betty and Me #167

In "Sling-Shot," Betty’s well-intentioned first-aid lesson takes a mischievous turn when she bands Archie’s arm and puts him in a sling—only for him to lean into the sympathy, skipping class and playing the part too well. When the school nurse catches on, she delivers a surprise verdict that could keep Archie wrapped up for weeks.

In "One Person's Trash Is Another's Treasure," Betty takes Mr. Svenson’s advice a little too literally, digging through trash with curiosity—and quickly regretting it when she stumbles upon Archie’s forgotten test crib notes. Written by an unknown author and illustrated by an unknown artist, the story captures a classic moment of teenage awkwardness with a humorous twist.
