Betty and Me #185

Betty and Archie have traded pedaling for lounging in this sunny 1990 installment, their bikes parked behind them as they relax on a blanket beneath a shady tree — hearts floating in the air and a couple of curious squirrels nearby completing the charming scene. Betty's quip about biking being fun is met with Archie's very telling reply, and the whole cover, rendered with Dan DeCarlo's characteristic warmth, captures that easy, carefree summer feeling perfectly. With a story titled "Fit to Be Tired," Betty and Me #185 promises the kind of lighthearted Riverdale fun that made this series a perennial favorite.
