Betty and Me #32

The bowling alley is the place to be in this December 1970 installment of Betty and Me, as Betty winds up for a throw while a grinning Archie crouches beside her — only for a stray ball to go bouncing wildly down the lane. Two onlookers whisper that she's apparently the girl who bowled a 270 the night before, adding a wonderfully comic twist to her current struggle. Dan DeCarlo's cover pencils capture the lighthearted charm that made this series a staple of Archie comics, and with a story titled "How Sweet It Was," there's plenty of fun waiting inside.
