I always thought Veronica was the hotter of the two which is odd since I love Blondes, in fact married one and dated several more.
Not that Betty was by any means ugly.

Idle hands are the Devil's workshop. That boy needs more chores and to get his head out of comic books.

...it is a sign of the economic insecurity of America under Obambi. Archie picked a meal ticket.

No, after I got married that ended the dating. They were all sort of what we used to call dishwater blondes. Some might call it light brown.
