Sketches: Veronica After Bob Montana 2

As per seminal Archie comic book artist, Dan DeCarlo, Veronica and Betty have the same measurements and the same length hair.  One's blonde and wears it in a ponytail.  The other is brunette and wears it loose.  Personality-wise, Betty is the sweet girl-next-door and Veronica is the  glamorous spoiled rich girl.  Veronica does have a good conscience though, and Betty is quite feisty if provoked. 

In Montana's strips, Veronica is actually pretty nice, but doesn't put up with much crap.  Betty wavers between sweet and psychotic.  The choice for Archie is pretty easy.  The Riverdale CW TV show surprisingly follows the strips somewhat.  Physically, they also kind of go with how I always thought it should be: Betty is cute and athletically well-built, while Veronica is sexy, fashionable, but maybe a bit modestly built.  Either way, it's always the eternal question of Betty or Veronica?
