Betty And Veronica First Issue

In the lower left corner is the authentic cover to the first issue of Archie's Rival, Reggie, from 1949. Betty & Veronica premiered a year later, and I kind of wish they had saved the Reggie gag for them instead. So I tried recreating the gag as if they did, taking the layout that the original artist (either George Frese or Bill Vigoda) used and substituting in the appropriate characters.

If I was any good with a brush, the inking might have looked closer to that old Bob Montana-derivitive style that Archie used back then.
