Betty and Veronica #220

Betty and Veronica are front and center in this 2006 Archie Comics entry, each clutching a flip phone and clearly locked in a friendly rivalry over who has the better ringtone — musical notes floating around them to make the competition audible. Behind them, Archie and a third friend look on with amused bewilderment, perfectly capturing that eternal dynamic of the girls doing their thing while everyone else watches. Cover art by Jeff Shultz and Al Milgrom keeps the Riverdale gang looking lively and fun, making issue #220 a cheerful snapshot of mid-2000s teen life.
