Betty and Veronica, the Truth Comes Out

I first noticed comic art as art when I was exposed to pop art as a kid. In it's classic form, you take some item of popular culture and you highlight it in some way, classically, by taking it out of context. I decided I'd like to have this done with two panels of Betty and Veronica which seem innocent unless you've got a dirty mind, which almost everyone does.

This is the first commission I gave Mike DeCarlo, aside from being several times the size of the original, it has some differences with the original panels. The more uncluttered look and the thought balloon were my idea, the subtle differences in the eyes and expression were Mike's. Below is a direct comparison between the satire and the piece. I was impressed enough with Mike that I've already asked him to do more pieces. They should be posting soon since he has a fast turnaround.
