Pep #143

Chemistry class has never been this entertaining — on Bob White's cover for this November 1960 issue, Veronica cheerfully asks Archie to take bicarbonate of soda as his chemistry assignment, while a stunned Betty reacts in the background, clearly putting two and two together about what that particular compound might mean for dinner at her house. It's a perfectly timed bit of Riverdale humor that captures the eternal triangle dynamic with a clever, school-day twist.
