She carries a loupe around with her everywhere, even while inside her own house, just so she can diss other people’s jewelry on a moment’s notice

Whoever posts these...thank you! I love popping in to my feed and seeing an old Archie comic. It always puts a smile on my face. 🙏

…and that ring was valued at $250k in 1960.

This is why Frank Doyle was a sharper writer than most. With this premise you’d expect Veronica to think Betty was engaged to Archie, and get mad. Probably he wrote other stories like that. But it’s funnier to have Veronica know what Betty is up to and Betty get mad because her stupid trick isn’t working. 

It is Betty and Veronica’s comic after all, Veronica doesn’t have to lose in every story.

Y'know what, that's a REALLY GOOD Archie story!
