Betty and Me #57

A classroom scene sets the perfect stage for Riverdale's sharpest comedy in this 1974 entry from the Archie Series — a teacher points to a blackboard listing "Scarce Resources" (beef, gasoline, oil, land) while asking Betty about the meaning of "hoarding," and Betty's deadpan reply nods toward Veronica and Archie, who are visible flirting in the doorway. Dan DeCarlo's pencils and Rudy Lapick's inks keep the whole cast lively, from the dark-haired student grinning at lower right to the tiny snowball-throwing scene tucked into the upper corner. It's the kind of breezy, knowing humor that made Betty and Me such a warm constant on spinner racks.
