I always thought Betty was the hotter of the two, just like Maryann from Gilligans Island and Bailey from WKRP..
The quiet ones like Betty and Mary Ann were hotter, and they have the tendency to go wild in bed too XD
“and Bailey from WKRP”
By orders of magnitude.
Betty & Veronica were identical cartoons, differing only in hair color. Social status & attitude were character overlays.
MAD Magazine’s “Starchie!” got the strip’s number back in 1956. `Biddy & Salonica’ were two acne-ravaged druggies while Starchie, Bottleneck, & Wedgie van Smelt were juvenile delinquents dealing in petty crime.
It’s a comic strip, come on folks!
