Betty #106
In "The Dinner Date," Betty and Chuck spark a schoolwide frenzy with their hand-decorated sneakers, only to land in detention when Mr. Weatherbee bans the quirky footwear. But when Superintendent Hassle praises the ban as a clever fix for a winter sandal trend causing frostbite elsewhere, the principal not only frees the duo but embraces their stylish footwear with surprising enthusiasm. Written by George Gladir and illustrated by Stan Goldberg, with inks by John Lowe, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Bill Yoshida, the cover by Stan Goldberg and Bob Smith captures the lighthearted chaos of the moment.
