Betty and Me #33

This charming 1971 slice of Riverdale life captures the gang at an ice cream counter, where Betty deliberates over 50 flavors while Archie quips that the price will rise a nickel before she decides — a gag that lands with surprising relevance given the "Prices Soar" headline Jughead reads nearby. The cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo and inks by Rudy Lapick bring the scene to life with wonderful period flair, from Betty's psychedelic bell-bottoms to the cheerful diner setting. It's a perfectly warm, witty snapshot of early-'70s Archie Comics doing what they did best — finding gentle humor in everyday life.
