Betty's Diary #28

Betty's Diary #28 finds Archie mid-sneeze at a carnival midway game — a perfectly timed "Ha-Choo!" threatening to ruin his hard-won toss — while Betty and a cluster of friends look on in amusement, stuffed animal prizes waiting tantalizingly on the booth shelf behind him. Betty's diary entry sets the scene with cheerful irony: after many tries, Archie finally won her that stuffed toy, though the cover leaves you wondering just how close that victory really was. Dan and Jim DeCarlo bring the whole boardwalk moment to life with their signature warm, expressive style, making this 1989 Archie Series issue a genuinely fun snapshot of small triumphs and comic mishaps among Riverdale's favorite gang.
