I remember a story where Betty was Rolling Blading & she was almost hit by this huge truck. Reggie ran into the street. He saved her. His sweater was ripped. And few days later Betty made him a sweater to replace his rip one. He asked her to go the movies. So they as actually started to date but they were not sure if was true love. Archie & Veronica were jealous & actually missed them. In the end Reggie did what nice person would do & it proved he actually had a heart.

"For One Brief Moment". That's my favorite Betty/Reggie story.

Me too, I love reading it. If they ever made a Reggie comic that should be the story at the end of the comic. Just like they been doing with new Archie issues & Jughead issues.

Even though I'd read the story before in reprint form, I was surprised to find that issue (BETTY #43) with the original appearance of that story, while rummaging through a box of unsorted comics for 50c. I never find an issue of an Archie comic that way that contains some 'significant' or notable story like that. That story IS pretty much the Holy Grail for Betty/Reggie shippers. Doubtful that there'll ever be another.

It has been in those 1000's page books. I think.

Here's a scene where Betty and Reggie team up in the girls imagining themselves as rival pirates. That's the only panel with him though.

That cover is classic.

I found most of the story in the google books preview for one of the Best of Archie stories, except for the first few pages: [size=78%]https://books.google.com/books?id=OZV0BQAAQBAJ&pg=PA222&lpg=PA222&dq=%22best+of+archie%22+%22c.j.+henderson%22&source=bl&ots=YBIcS__Tf4&sig=u9bxL8oKTQ3rRmD0dXzU8iXh2iY&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigxr-B6ufMAhVl_4MKHXqhDUwQ6AEIIjAB#v=onepage&q=%22best%20of%20archie%22%20%22c.j.%20henderson%22&f=false[/size]

No, I think people should definitely read "MOOSE!". While there's something slightly wonky about Chris Allen's artwork (characters expressions are frequently off-model), it proves that at least Mark Waid is capable of writing funny Archie stories if he sets out to do so. I doubt that he's lost the ability, so I guess someone (whether it was him or the editor) decided that it's not all that important that an Archie story be funny. Or maybe someone determined that it's important that Archie NOT be funny now, because the prospective audience they're trying to grab isn't really interested in "funny", except maybe as an afterthought.
