Betty and Me #155

In "Classic Comedy," Archie finds himself in an unexpectedly glamorous predicament when Betty enlists him as a living mannequin for her latest fashion display. Things take a hilarious turn when a neighbor boy gets stuck in a tree, forcing Archie—still in Betty’s dress—to climb up and rescue him, drawing the attention of the local news media. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm (pencils and inks), Barry Grossman’s colors, and Rod Ollerenshaw’s lettering, this 1987 issue captures the classic Archie charm with a perfectly timed mix of awkwardness and humor. The cover, also by Dan DeCarlo, perfectly encapsulates the scene’s absurdity.
