Betty and Veronica #242

Betty and Veronica are dressed in near-identical hot-pink outfits — tops, ruffled white skirts, and tall boots — squaring off on a sunny sidewalk while a bemused little dog watches from between them, blissfully unaware of the fashion feud unfolding above his head. Betty points an accusing finger as the cover's speech bubbles make the dispute hilariously clear: Veronica insists the look is a knockoff, while Betty fires back with sharp wit. Jeff Shultz's cover art sets a playful, lively tone for the "Fashion Detectives" stories inside this 2009 Archie Comics issue.
