Betty and Me #141

In "Bitter Lemon," Betty finds herself unexpectedly in the spotlight when she agrees to watch a neighbor girl’s lemonade stand for just a few minutes—only to discover that a simple favor sparks a wave of attention from every boy in the neighborhood, much to Veronica’s growing annoyance. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo Jr.’s lively art, Jim DeCarlo’s inks, Barry Grossman’s colors, and Bill Yoshida’s crisp lettering, this 1984 issue captures the classic charm of Riverdale’s small-town antics. The cover, penciled and inked by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly captures the moment’s playful tension.
