Betty and Me #25

This December 1969 Archie Series issue delivers a wonderfully goofy fashion gag right on its cover, penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Rudy Lapick: Betty, Archie, and Veronica discover that a single store-bought item can serve as a scarf, a belt — and, in the chaotic bottom panel, a blindfold, leaving Archie stumbling around sightless while the girls react with exasperated amusement. It's the kind of light, laugh-out-loud suburban comedy that made Betty and Me such a reliable treat, and at 15 cents it was a genuinely great deal for fans of Riverdale's favorite duo.
