Archie Andrews pops the question

I’ll be in my bunk. In Riverdale. :stuck_out_tongue:

Actually, they’re doing two of the three possibilities. Archie with Veronica first, then Archie with Betty. Sadly, they’re not covering Betty with Veronica or Archie with Jughead.

Since Archie Andrews was aged 17 in 1941, he’s now about 85 years old. It’s about time he made up his mind between those two floozies. And thank Og they are too old to have any children.

No! Not another George in the White House!

And then the Punisher shows up and slaughters the guests.

Hey! I had that one.

No wait - it was the one where Betty and Veronica had a “sleep over.”

See what happens when you don’t “put out.”

“Archie was the bitch and Jughead was the butch. That’s why Jughead wears that crown-looking hat all the time. He the king of queen Archie’s world.”

Our ratings were dropping, and the author had to introduce something truly outrageous to keep them up. :eek:

Archie should have stuck with Cheryl Blossom. Hubba hubba.

I still like the interpretation that Archie is intended as a morality play, with each of the major characters representing one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Archie, of course, who has been unable to decide between two (or three) different women for decades, is, of course, Lust.

I figured this was a fantasy when first I heard it- Popeye and Olive Oyl got married in a comic book in 1999, but a representative from King Features right out and said to the press that it was “a one-shot fantasy.” I wasn’t surprised when I saw the Archie-Veronica wedding is the same.

Am I the only one surprised that Archie is still around? Who’s reading it?

The Comics Curmudgeon, for one.

That’s the Archie newspaper strip- although I’m sure the AJGLU-5000 writes the comic book as well

It would help if people read what is going on. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is the first of a six-issue series, starting with issue #600. In the first issue, he pops the question to Veronica, who says “yes!”

But note please, this will be taking place 5 years AFTER the events of Archie’s prior comic book life. Specifically, he’s graduated from high school, and even, reportedly, has a job. So he’s old enough to marry. And since it’s going to be a six-issue storyline, it’s quite likely that Betty will end up being involved somehow with a plot twist. :wink:

Okay, this is a new one for me. Let’s see if I can decode it. Archie is lust. Jughead is probably gluttony. Veronica is probably vanity. Reggie is envy. Moose is anger. Which leaves sloth for Betty? I’m not seeing it. Even if you pass sloth off to Jughead that just leaves Betty with the even less appropriate role of gluttony.

I can’t remember all of the role assignments, but Betty was supposed to be the Everyman character (every morality play has to have one of those). I’m not well-enough versed in Riverdell lore to know who Sloth is supposed to be.

I think the comics need a big crossover wedding arc. Archie should marry Olive Oyl. Popeye marries Lois Lane. Superman marries Betty and Veronica (because he’s super). Jon Arbuckle marries Elizabeth Patterson. And in a surprise twist ending, Anthony marries Sergeant Snorkel.

So, what, Liz the veterinarian just gets left in the dust?
