Betty and Me #8
In "Playthings of Peril," Betty spins a playful lie about going to the dance with "Ring-a-Ding" Riley, setting off a chain of schemes as the boys team up to make sure he actually asks her—just to see how far the joke will go. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm and Rudy Lapick’s crisp inks, this 1967 gem captures the lighthearted chaos of teenage antics, with Vincent DeCarlo’s lettering adding the perfect punch.
