Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #140
In "The Cheery Query," Betty and Veronica turn Mr. Weatherbee’s office into a playground of puns and rhymes, much to the principal’s growing exasperation. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—inked by Rudy Lapick and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1967 classic captures the girls’ mischievous spirit in a delightfully silly showdown of wordplay. The cover by Dan DeCarlo and Rudy Lapick perfectly captures the lighthearted chaos.

Betty and Veronica annoy Mr. Weatherbee by making up stupid rhyming descriptions for everything ("What do you call a perfumed hobo?" "A fragrant vagrant").
