Yeah, and even stranger that Al Hartley wrote it. I think that MUST be miscredited, I can't believe he would put that in there!
I wondered if it was him; it looked like his art. I'm not that surprised that he would give Veronica the bird. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he usually go out of his way to portray Reggie and Veronica negatively or find a way to punish them?

Veronica's lie about the Jones' was terrible but I don't really see how she is any worse than Betty who would have done the same.
Thanks for posting that. Again, it's one I know I have in a collection somewhere... but ??
I guess the only mitigating factor/ethical difference for Betty is that she and Jellybean have a relationship already, and they genuinely like one another. Betty might be using her a little bit here, but she loves spending time with Jellybean anyway, so really she's not trying to trick this guy into thinking she's compassionate and caring when she isn't (unlike Veronica, who doesn't even really like Jellybean in this story).
Regardless of being compassionate or caring, she is still using Jellybean and she would still have to make up a lie like Veronica did to get the hot nanny to come over and stay.
I do wonder what happens when Nanny Boy finds out the truth, that Betty set up Veronica to look like a kidnapper to get a date with him.
