Funny Stuff: "See No Evil" by Doyle and DeCarlo

Question for ya, Groove-ophiles: what could be more fun than spending a day at the beach with Betty and Veronica? I couldn't think of anything, either! From Archie Giant Series Magazine #236 (July 1975), here's "See No Evil" by Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo!

The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Life's a Beach with Betty, Veronica, and Dan DeCarlo

Dig it, Groove-ophiles, Young/Teen Groove never got to go to the beach, but I spent a lot of time wishing I could go--mostly because of Dan DeCarlo's (aided and abetted at times by a variety of inkers) captivating Betty and Veronica beach covers! They were the closest I ever got to a beach back then--though Teen Groove did spend a lotta time at the public pool. Does that even count?

And for the record, Ol' Groove has been to several beaches post-Groovy Age. My first trip to a beach was to Cocoa Beach when I was on my honeymoon back in 1983. And yeah, I love the beach!

Sunday Funnies: Betty Loves Archie

It's the day after Valentine's Day, and Ol' Groove's thinking there might be some lonely hearts out there in Groovy-land. Cheer up! Though your heart might need mending, at least you haven't been carrying the same, unappreciated, unattainable torch for a half-century or so, have ya? Have ya? We all know sweet Betty Cooper's been carrying a torch for one red-haired, freckle face named Archie Andrews for longer than a most of us have been alive, and where has it gotten her? Famous, that's what! Everybody knows her, everyone roots for her, and she never, ever gives up. How's that for inspiration? So get out there and chase that dream(boat)! Well, chase 'em after you've read these smile-makers from Betty & Veronica #s 165 (July, 1969) and 168 (September, 1969), that is!
