I saw the thread title about “Archer,” but I don’t know what that is. Whom do you like in the _Archie_ comics? The clueless Archie, the apathetic glutton Jughead, etc? ---

Jughead, definitely. He found something he loves (food) and he sticks with it. ---

Veronica…the _Archie_ Syndrome is the exact opposite of the _Gilligan’s Island_ syndrome. ---

There’s a “Chasing Amy” quote that’s just flickering around the edges of what passes for my mind… ---

Man, this is like picking a favorite disease. I guess I’ll go with Mr. Weatherbee, for the way his hair pops up over his head when he’s surprised. ---

Jughead. He’s the smartest, most grounded of the lot. ---

Jughead and Sabrina coz they’re the only Griffindors of the lot. The Hufflepuffs Archie, Betty and Moose don’t interest me. The Ravenclaw Dalton even less. The Slytherins Veronica and Regie as always come too thick (a lot like other Slytherins like Lucy and Nancy.) ---

Archie himself, I guess. He’s stealth polyamory with two cute GFs he refuses to choose between. He plays music. I like his car, it’s got character. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/your-favorite-archie-character/647316.md?page=2)
