A. The FAQ


IMPORTANT BETTY UPDATE!!!

In Betty No. 87 (7/00), Betty met a guy named Adam. She likes him. Now she has a dilemma. Does she date Adam and dump Archie, date Archie and dump Adam, date both of them, or play the field, dump them both and jump in bed with Cheryl or Veronica? Readers have voted to help Betty decide what to do. The conclusion of the story will appear in some upcoming issue of "Betty".


Introduction

Hey, there, readers. In case you didn't realize it, I'm a huge fan of Betty Cooper. You know Betty. She's the sweet, loveable girl in the Archie comics series. I love her so much, I've decided to write this FAQ on Betty, so that fans can learn a lot about her and what she's really like.

This project started as a biography on Tuesday, October 19, 1999, at 9:36 AM. Unfortunately, the file grew so big, it became cumbersome for me to scroll to the proper category to enter new information. When the file grew to 34.8K in size, I knew I had to split up the info. I had already decided to write a biography on Cheryl Blossom, so, when I started working on the site on Wednesday, December 22, 1999, at 9:00 AM, I decided to make it The Betty Cooper and Cheryl Blossom Fan Page. Then, on Monday, January 24, 2000, at 10:00 AM, I decided to change the site into two FAQS, one of which you're reading right now. The site never went up. I keep each section of the FAQ as a separate file, so it's easy for me to add info to it.

Yes, there is a Cheryl Blossom FAQ.


Sources I Use and Don't Use in the FAQ

I've compiled information from many different sources, primarily the following comic book series, which I collect on a regular basis:

Regular
Betty
Veronica
Betty and Veronica
Betty and Veronica Spectacular
Cheryl Blossom

Other Betty and Veronica titles that I've referenced include:

Regular
Archie Giant Series Magazine Presents Betty and Veronica Spectacular
Archie Giant Series Magazine Presents Betty and Veronica Summer Fun
Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica
Betty and Me
Betty and Veronica Summer Fun

I also have some non-girl titles, which I bought only to introduce myself to the Archie universe or because they're old. I don't regularly collect these. I've included information from them in this biography. They include:

Regular
Archie
Archie & Friends
Archie's Spring Break!
Archie's Super Teens
Archie's Vacation Special
Archie's Weird Mysteries
Faculty Funnies
Jughead
Laugh
The New Archies
Reggie and Me
Reggie's "Wise Guy" Jokes

Digest
Archie Comics Digest Magazine
Archie Digest Magazine

I've also included information from "Archie Meets The Punisher", Vol. 1, No. 1, published in 8/94. This comic book was published by Marvel, but Archie Comics did work with them on it, so I included it.

Finally, I've included information from the "Archie's Weird Mysteries" TV series.

This biography does not include information from the Archie Christian comic books published in the 1970s by Spire Christian Comics. I have deliberately excluded them since their purpose is to promote a religion, and thus there is a bias in the way Betty is portrayed. I consider these comic books unreliable.

Also, I did not include Betty's advice in the "Dear Betty" and "Dear Betty & Veronica" columns. 1) That's too much stuff to write down. 2) I don't feel it's very accurate.

Whenever I include information from a specific source, I give that source in case you, the readers, wish to look it up yourselves.

Although I've included information from 3 episodes of "Archie's Weird Mysteries", I have only 3 episodes on tape. My local cable provider doesn't carry the PAX network, so I can't get the rest of the episodes right now.

I'm not going to add any more information from the digests. It's too much work, and most of the stories are old, so I don't want to add in information out of sequence or accidentally enter in the same information twice if I find the original issues these stories were printed in.

Even though this biography covers a lot, it barely scratches the surface of who Betty Cooper is. There are almost sixty years worth of comics, a few television series, and a live-action made-for-TV movie. As I get more of these sources, I'll add them in.

B. General Information


Who is Betty Cooper?

Betty Cooper is a character that appears in comic books published by Archie Comic Publications, Inc.


Where did Betty first appear?

Betty's first appearance was in the first frame of the first Archie story, published in the December, 1941, issue of Pep Comics. In that story, Archie sought to impress the new girl in the neighborhood, Betty Cooper. But, despite warnings from his woman-hating chum, Jughead Jones, Archie wound up getting into all sorts of trouble when he tried to do a highwire act at a traveling circus. The kids all looked to be no more than 12 or 13, but by the time they appeared in their next story, they were teenagers.

The information in this section came from "Everything's Archie-The Inside Story of Archie Comics" by Jeff Branch and Paul Castiglia.


What comic books has Betty appeared in?

They're too numerous to mention! I think it's safe to assume that Betty has appeared in almost every issue of almost every series involving the Archie characters. So, chances are if you pick up an Archie comic book, Betty will be in it.

Among Betty's titles are:

Archie's Girls Betty & Veronica. Having begun as a back-up feature in "Archie", Betty and Veronica incessantly plotted, schemed, and fought over Archie, and any other boy they came across while maintaining a humorous arm's length friendship with each other. The girls' misadventures (some complete with hilarious catfights) would soon become a key part of the Archie legend. This title started sometime in the 1950s and had jumbo-sized yearly editions. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty and Me. This was Betty's first solo title, and it was the precursor to the current "Betty" series. It started in the early 1970s and ran for 200 issues, ending in early 1993, then relaunched a month later as "Betty". I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty's Diary. This title started in 1986. The original concept of Betty's Diary began in the pages of "Archie's JokeBook" with the hopelessly lovesick Betty relating rather exaggerated and humorous tales of her exploits with Archie in her diary. In the new version, stories, told in first-person narrative by Betty herself, would focus on the day-to-day events in her life as she truthfully related them in her diary. The stories, written by the likes of Kathleen Webb, Frank Doyle, and Rod Ollerenshaw, were warm, funny, touching, thought-provoking, occasionally heartrending, but always told with a down-to-earth realness that often eschewed the typically mindless slapstick approach of all the other Archie titles. Humor was not the primary goal of storytelling in "Betty's Diary"; the stories made you smile, and they revealed a little bit about Betty's true sexual orientation. Unfortunately, despite how well-crafted the book had been, "Betty's Diary" was cancelled in early 1991. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty. This is Betty's current solo title. It's published monthly. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty and Veronica. This title is currently in Volume 2. It's published monthly. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty and Veronica Spectacular. This is simply another B&V title, nothing "spectacular" about it. It's published every 2 months. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty and Veronica Digest Magazine. This is a 128-page book containing old and new stories. It's published 8 times a year. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty and Veronica Double Digest Magazine. This is a 256-page book containing old and new stories. It's published 8 times a year. I'll try to get more info soon.

Archie Comics created custom environmental comic books for the cities of San Diego and Chino which tied in with Earth Day. I'll try to get more info soon.

Archie Comics has also produced a variety of custom comics for such businesses and agencies as Radio Shack, Alcoholics Anonymous, the FBI, and New York State. The cause of literacy in Mississippi led to the creation of a custom comic book for that state's school system, promoting the importance and the fun of reading. I'll try to get more info soon.

Archie Comics created a series of public service announcements for abstinence from smoking, missing children, and AIDS education, to name a few. I'll try to get more info soon.

Betty appeared in Marvel's "Archie Meets The Punisher". She may also be in crossovers published by other comic book companies.

The information in this section came from "Everything's Archie-The Inside Story of Archie Comics" by Jeff Branch and Paul Castiglia.


What other media has Betty appeared in?

There was a popular Archie radio show back in the 1940s. It lasted for nearly a decade. I'll try to get more info soon.

There were a few animated television series based on Archie comics.

The first group of shows were produced by Filmation Associates. It started as "The Archie Show" in 1968, became "The Archie Comedy Hour" in 1969, "Archie's Fun House" in 1970, "Archie's TV Funnies" in 1971, "The US of Archie" in 1974, and "The New Archie/Sabrina Hour" in 1977. During all these series, Jane Webb was the voice of Betty Cooper. Read her filmography at http://us.imdb.com/Name?Webb,+Jane

In 1987, Archie returned to television in a brand-new animated series produced by DiC Entertainment for NBC called "The New Archies". In this series, Archie and the gang were portrayed not as full-fledged teenagers, but as thirteen year olds at Riverdale Junior High. The dress and slang and fads employed by the kids were constant with the day, and while the stories were mildly amusing, even leading to a "The New Archies" comic book, the show itself didn't have the staying power of the original Filmation series and only lasted until the end of the year. I'll try to get more info soon.

The newest series, "Archie Weird Mysteries", started in Fall of 1999. It airs on Monday through Saturday on the PAX cable channel. Check your local listings. I'll have more info soon.

Songs done for the early Archie TV series were put on LP records. In 1968, thanks to studio musicians, The Archies made their debut in record stands with hip and fun songs. I'll try to get more info soon.

To kick off Archie's 50th Anniversary celebration, NBC aired a live-action made-for-TV movie, "Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again", on May 6, 1990, as the NBC Movie of the Week. It was produced in April by DiC Entertainment. The movie has Archie and the gang, in their 30s, returning to Riverdale High for their 15th class reunion. The movie was put on home video in 1995, retitled "Archie: Return to Riverdale". Betty (played by Lauren Holly) is a grade school teacher that's being bossed around by her crummy boyfriend, Robert. The telemovie, which was broadcast during the May sweeps period, was seen as a pilot for a possible series. Despite a pretty decent story and even better performances from the actors and actresses who portrayed the Archie characters, the movie finished a disappointing 51st in the Neilsen ratings, having been thrashed by the prime-time premiere of the Kevin Costner / Sean Connery remake of "The Untouchables" on CBS and the powerful one-two punch of "Married...With Children" and "In Living Color" (featuring the then unknown Jim Carrey) on FOX. Read Lauren Holly's filmography at http://us.imdb.com/Name?Holly,+Lauren

Around 1997, several Archie young adult books were published. One of them is called "Betty Cooper, Baseball Star". These are text-only books, like short novels. I'll try to get more info soon.

The information in this section came from "Everything's Archie-The Inside Story of Archie Comics" by Jeff Branch and Paul Castiglia.


What Betty merchandise is available?

Older merchandise include:

an Archie's "Volleyball" t-shirt (b&w with Betty, Veronica, and Archie)
2 Betty and Veronica (22" x 28") color posters, Soda Shop and Day Dream

I'll try to get more info on older merchandise.

As for current merchandise:

a Betty hat with Betty's face
a www.archiecomics.com hat with Betty and Veronica's faces
a Cartoon Girl Power shirt with Betty, Veronica, Cheryl, and Sabrina's faces
a www.archiecomics.com t-shirt with Betty, Veronica, and Archie
a Groovy Betty t-shirt

Look for order forms in the various Archie Comics titles.

Betty and Veronica love dolls were scheduled to be released in November of 2000. They are being made by a company called Playing Mantis. The dolls are 11 1/2" tall, dressed in the latest fashions, complimented with accessories and a 24-page comic book. "Watch for additional releases coming soon. Available at select toy stores nationwide." I haven't heard any news about which stores the dolls are being sold at. I can only tell you to check the advertisements and Editor's Notebook in the comic books and the website. I hope to get more info soon.


Is there any Betty fan fiction available?

Yes!

I have written a story called "BETTY COOPER: THIS IS WHO I AM". It is a more mature story, not for little kids. If you're not a regular reader of Archie comics, you might want to read the rest of this FAQ, so you can understand Betty better, before proceeding to the true story of what really happened between Betty and Archie.

This story has been translated into French by Pascal Plamondon and placed on his Archie site, "Archie : le site francophone". The site will also have more Archie stories (in French). The site is located at http://www.oocities.org/TelevisionCity/Lot/3546/

There are a few adult stories out there. No, I will not provide the URLs at this time but I might in the future. Search for them yourself at AltaVista (http://www.altavista.com) and c|net Search (http://www.search.com) using Advanced Search.

There's a hilarious short story called "Comic Book Universe Battles: Betty Cooper vs. Veronica Lodge" at http://www.electricferret.com/fights/bettyveronica.htm


Is there any Betty fan art available?

Check the various Archie titles for new fan art every month, as well as Archie Comics Online, http://www.archiecomics.com

I'll see if there is any other Betty artwork on the 'Net.


Quick Facts

Here are some quick facts on Betty Cooper. This is so you can get a general idea of her before exploring the details.

Elizabeth (Betty) Cooper lives in the town of Riverdale in the United States of America. She has long blonde hair, which she wears in a few different styles. Betty is a tomboy.

Betty's parents are Hal and Alice Cooper. Betty has an older sister named Polly.

Betty's best friend is rich girl Veronica Lodge. Betty usually gets along well with Veronica, but the two of them constantly fight over their common boyfriend, Archie Andrews. What they see in him I'll never know, I think they should dump him and admit their love for each other.

Betty is 17 years old and attends 11th grade at Riverdale High School. Betty is a cheerleader. She plays the tambourine in the band The Archies.

Betty's friends include Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle, Midge Klump, Dilton Doiley, Nancy Harris, and Cheryl Blossom.


Archie Comics on Betty

This information comes from Archie Comics Online as of Saturday, October 23, 1999:

Just as it's hard not to like Archie, it's absolutely impossible not to love Betty. Blue eyed, blonde, perky and beautiful with a personality that's sweeter than honey, Betty is the sort of girl boys can't help but fall madly in love with. A smile from Betty can brighten even the darkest mood and her bubbly, always positive outlook on life makes everyone around her feel like a million dollars.

While Betty isn't perfect, it just seems that she is. Her faith in people is unshakable, and her loyalty to her friends is unbreakable. Betty is many things to many people: a warm, vibrant, fun loving girl who lives for the present but thinks of her future; a tomboy with spunk and a lady with polish; an irrepressible free spirit and a responsible young woman, a dreamer and a realist with a heart that's bigger than all outdoors.

Even though Betty can date any boy she wants, her heart always has and always will belong to Archie. Despite playing second fiddle to her best friend, Veronica, Betty never gives up hope that one day, Archie will come to his senses and see that she is the only girl for him. And while her own little plots and schemes don't always work, Betty finds that what works best for snaring Archie is when she's simply her sweet, loving self.

However, boys do line up at Betty's door to win her affections, most notably a couple of bad guys. Longtime friend and all around creep Reggie Mantle has started to show genuine feelings for Betty while Cheryl Blossom's rotten twin brother Jason is deeply attracted to her. And why not? As the old saying goes, "Blondes have more fun!", and no girl in Riverdale has more fun than Betty.



C. Detailed Information

Betty's Diary

"The Art Lesson"
Dear Diary,
One Archie Andrews has always been fine with me, but this weekend I had twoArchies on my hands, which is one too many! It all began on Saturday morning---
I had worked all week on my art project--right down to show day!
Two hours later, we were there!
Dear Diary: I wasn't paying attention to how much spray I was globbing on!
The hot auditorium lights didn't help matters either!
Dear Diary: You guessed it! No blue ribbon, no cash prize! Archie and I came back to Riverdale empty-handed...
after depositing "Victory" in the scrap heap!
But, maybe I won the kind of prizes they don't hand out in contests!
And I was totally honest...about myself and my art
but next time, I'm gonna get a better brand of hair spray!
[AD, No. 108 (6/91), "The Art Lesson"]

Betty's Diary : 617
There was never anything like it in the history of Riverdale, the day the Punisher came to town...
Just about the whole town stayed up all night to see if Ronnie was okay and catch a glimpse of Frank (he told me to call him Frank!). We all celebrated with an early morning breakfast at Pop's ... That's the funny thing ... I got the feeling Frank didn't really want to leave. My dad says Frank's a psychopath. Okay, maybe he is a tad hostile...
...but if the Punisher's the bad guy people say he is, he'd never have put up with Archie all night!
--but when I think of all the circumstances that brought Frank to Riverdale--! It was either the most incredible coincidence in history, or maybe, just maybe...it really is a small world!
