Betty and Me #72

At Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe, Archie is stranded in his ultra-tight '70s jeans — too snug to reach his wallet — leaving a flustered Betty to scramble for the bill while a deadpan Pop looks on and delivers the punchline about "tight money." Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick's cover perfectly captures the breezy, laugh-out-loud charm that made this series a staple of Archie's 1976 lineup, with Veronica and a friend peeking in from the header vignette above. A fun snapshot of mid-'70s fashion humor that holds up with a smile.
