Betty's Diary #22

Betty's dream diary entry takes a delightful turn in this 1988 Archie Series issue, as the cover — penciled by Dan DeCarlo and inked by Jim DeCarlo — shows a beaming Betty pushing a shopping cart at the supermarket with Archie cheerfully riding inside, surrounded by snacks like choklit chip cookies and chips. The diary caption, "Dear Diary… I dreamed I found all my favorite goodies at the supermarket!", perfectly captures the breezy, warm humor that makes Betty such an endearing character. With interior work by writer Kathleen Webb, artist Stan Goldberg, and inker Mike Esposito, this is a charming slice of Riverdale life that's hard not to smile at.
