Betty and Me #35

This sunny 1971 Archie Series entry puts Betty front and center in a wonderfully playful two-panel cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick. Up top, Betty offers snacks to a grease-covered Archie working beneath a vibrant pink dune buggy — and the tiny inset above shows a slapstick mid-air collision between two figures with a resounding "THUMP!" Below, Betty lounges on her bed writing in her diary, grinning as she records, "Today I had Archie eating out of my hands." It's a charming snapshot of Betty's wit and optimism that makes this issue a genuinely fun addition to any Archie collection.
