    Did anyone else read them? Or, for that matter, does anyone else still read them?

    I for one, still read them. But only the old ones because a) I got the collections from the '40s to '80s and LOVE them and b) I HATE the new artist.

    I used to have a major crush on Betty. :grin: But I never like Veronica; I could never figure out why she dated all those guys if she only wanted to be with Archie.

    So, yea, any one else read 'em.

    Holy crap, I used to read those all the time!!!

    I had a crush on Betty too! XD
    Veronica was ok, but I loved Betty.

    Jughead always made me laugh, too. XD
    Oh, good times, good times...

    I'm shocked that they still print them, to be honest. They seemed so time-warp-y even when I read them back in the 70s and early 80s. As Fred Hembeck once had Archie say, "Hi, there. I'm Archie Andrews. The world's most atypical typical teenagers. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't cut class, and I ESPECIALLY don't have sex." That said, my friend described Moose as "my ideal guy." I said "Really?" He said, "Yeah. Football uniform above the waste, naked below, and I might have to duct tape his mouth shut..."

    He's an odd duck.

    But now I've got "Jingle Jangle" running around in my head. Sing-me, sing-me baby...

  5. I was always jealous of Archie
    Because every single person liked him.

    And his life seemed so perfect and funny.

    One day I hoped they would have a strip of Archie were Jughead stabs him in the eye, and feeds his body to a pack of crazy rabid dogs.

    I have a stack of Betty and Veronica comics in my bathroom.

    I liked Betty, but I LOVED Melody. You know, the singing one from the Josie and the Pussycats strips.
    :grin:

    The Archie comic strip is now running in The Sun newspaper in Toronto.

    What I could never figure out was how Archie could date Veronica one day and Betty the next and yet no one would get upset.

    I read them in the 80's growing up... *is now curious & off to google their post-80's comics*

    It was always Veronica I had the crush on though!

    Yes! I remember trying to figure out that mystery back in the day. :lol:

    My question was more why both of THEM kept fighting over HIM. Sure, he was an OK Joe and all, but surely there were other guys at Riverdale...

    I know!
    He's such a player.

    If you can find them, the decade sets are AMAZING! Especially the '60s and '80s.
