Veronica and Betty, teenagers and best friends, didn’t have much of a voice in the 1960’s; more than their mothers before them and less than their granddaughters today. Spinning from comic books to graphic novels, to TV and to movies they advanced like chess pieces, only a smidge, so their voices could be heard but still easily silenced. But Veronica and Betty, still teenagers, were best friends then, all the way to now. From comic book characters to stars of the silver screen, still chasing Archie, Veronica is still rich and Betty, that girl next door.
