Betty and Me #46

This Archie Giant Series entry delivers a charming slice of Riverdale's sweetest romance, with cover art by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick capturing Betty in a delightful two-panel sequence — first swooning over a phone call from Archie, hearts literally floating around her as she gushes "Oh! How romantic!", then the punchline reveal as a wide-eyed Archie sits with an Algebra book, clearly needing a study partner rather than a sweetheart. The cover's warm, domestic energy — Betty's friend lounging nearby, the cozy living room setting, and that classic Archie expression of barely-contained panic — makes this 1972 Giant issue an endearing snapshot of the series at its most playful. If you've ever had a crush complicated by homework, Betty and Me #46 speaks directly to your heart.
