Betty and Me #24

Betty steals the scene on this October 1969 cover of Betty and Me #24, strutting across a croquet lawn in a full train-conductor outfit — striped hat, pink shirt, and bell-bottoms — while Veronica delivers the perfectly groan-worthy punchline: "Now that's what I call a loco motive!" Archie crouches nearby with his mallet, a redheaded figure jogs in from the background, and a bonus vignette at the top shows Betty protesting a dunk in the water. Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick's cover art captures that irresistible Riverdale mix of sunny humor and teen charm that made the Archie series such a delight in its era.
