Betty and Veronica #245

In "Now That Was a Mistake!", Archie’s unexpected victory in a rose contest sets off a playful rivalry when he gifts bouquets to Betty, Veronica, and his mom—leaving the other two bouquets unaccounted for. With Betty and Veronica both determined to uncover who received the remaining roses, tensions simmer in Riverdale as secrets and smiles hang in the balance. Written by Kathleen Webb and illustrated by Jeff Shultz, with inks by Rich Koslowski, colors by Barry Grossman, and letters by Jack Morelli, this 2010 issue captures the classic charm of Archie’s world—where a single bouquet can spark a whole summer of mischief. The cover, penciled by Jeff Shultz and inked by Rich Koslowski, perfectly captures the moment of playful suspense.
