Acne remedies
The basic premise is a long standing one. Dan Parent is picking up from any number of stories drawn by Dan Decarlo on the complexion and vanity of face blemishes in over dramatic teenagers -- whether that be Betty, Archie, or Smurfette.
I guess that last one is more in keeping with the Veronica one, Papa Smurf and Hiram Lodge the clear patriarchs -- a little hard pressed to say anything about Mama Smurf or Lodge. (Oddly, Bob Bolling wrote an interesting Mrs. Lodge story in the late 1960s). There may be something in pointing out that Archie, unlike Betty and Smurfette, does not bring exaggerated notions of death wishes into the picture -- except I am more stuck on Papa Smurf's line -- "Smurfettes", as in plural, as in more than the (infamously) one female Smurf. And from here, the stories are pretty similar -- with Betty playing the part of Gargamel in sending Veronica on a wild goose chase in pursuit of a remedy.
Oh. By the way. This story originally takes place at Christmas time. There was no weather or snow drawn in, no insertion of Holidays or the month into the dialogue, it is just -- a few decorations and a Christmas tree were in these four panels, but were then dumped.
I know in the 1990s pile of stories Jason had a hankering for Betty, but I do not know it was reciprocated. But It probably wasn't except like here when it fit the plot requirements.
All's well that ends well for the 1993 stories -- though Betty is a tad embarrassed in one of them. The 1968 and 1997 stories end with some dissatisfied characters, as is keeping especially in 60s Archie -- I gather Betty gets her comeuppance for sending Veronica on a wild goose chase in 1997. As for the 1982 Decarlo drawn story -- it is all a misunderstanding.
