In "Bored Dumb!", Betty tries out a chocolate-scented perfume after seeing Veronica’s success with her signature scents—only to find her new fragrance draws a very unexpected admirer. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, this lighthearted 2003 installment captures the classic Archie charm with its playful humor and expressive art, while Barry Grossman’s colors and Bill Yoshida’s lettering bring the small-town antics to life. The cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith perfectly captures the comic’s whimsical tone.
