Betty's Diary #35

Sweet and sun-drenched, this 1990 installment of Betty's Diary captures Betty and Archie working side by side at an "Orange Yum!" fresh-squeezed orange juice stand inside Riverdale Mall, with floating hearts hinting at the romantic spark between them. Betty's diary caption — "I spend every Saturday with Archie, my main squeeze!" — ties the citrus pun together with characteristic Archie charm, while a young dark-haired girl looks on from the foreground and familiar Riverdale faces peek from the corner panels. Cover pencils by Dan DeCarlo give the scene its warm, breezy energy, and the interior story "Who Knows?" by writer Rod Ollerenshaw and artist Doug Crane promises more of Betty's heartfelt perspective on teen life in Riverdale.
