Betty and Me #52
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Someday My Prince Will Come," Betty’s heartfelt devotion to Archie reaches surreal new heights—her house is practically a shrine, with a life-size waterproof Archie in the shower, romantic voice recordings, and ceiling photos that make her dad worry she’s lost touch with reality. When he finally urges her to play hard to get, Betty’s response reveals just how deeply her feelings run. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm, Rudy Lapick’s inks, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1973 gem captures teenage romance with a touch of whimsical exaggeration.
Jo is stunned when her dad insists she cool it on the Archie memorabilia after discovering the life-size waterproof Archie in the shower, a voice recording whispering sweet nothings, and photos of Archie plastered on her ceiling. With a mix of concern and humor, he urges her to play hard to get—before things get even more... Archie-centric.
In "Gift Horse Laugh: Part 1," Betty tries a playful distraction at the beach, luring Archie’s attention with a mystery—she’s brought a stack of small gift boxes and refuses to reveal what’s inside. With her usual mix of charm and cleverness, she sets up a game of curiosity that keeps Archie guessing, all while the sun, sand, and teenage antics swirl around them.
In "Gift Horse Laugh: Part 2," Betty tries a playful distraction at the beach, luring Archie’s attention with a stack of mysterious little gift boxes she won’t reveal the contents of—keeping him intrigued, one box at a time.
