Betty and Me #17

Sun, sand, and the eternal Archie triangle collide on this breezy October 1968 beach cover, where Archie — paintbrush in hand and grinning broadly — has apparently been using Betty as his "canvas," much to a wide-eyed Veronica's alarm. Betty lounges nearby in her bikini while a blasting transistor radio sends music notes flying across the sand, setting the playful, carefree tone that Dan DeCarlo's artwork captures so well. "Beach or Bust" promises the kind of lighthearted summer mischief that made Betty and Me such a fun corner of the Archie universe.
