Betty and Veronica #21
In "The History Buff," Betty and Veronica pull a clever prank by crafting a fake diary of Martha Washington and selling it at Midge's garage sale, hoping to fool Archie and Jughead. The joke quickly spirals into a series of unexpected mishaps that send the whole gang scrambling. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s classic art and Jim DeCarlo’s inks, this 1989 gem features a playful twist on history and humor, with Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Yoshida’s lettering adding to the timeless charm. The cover, by Dan and Jim DeCarlo, captures the mischief perfectly.
