"What, you mean to say "Archie" isn't just about T&A anymore?"

Based on the pic, Archie is now also about Dick & Ass.

I do something like that all the time when I mean to mash “Private Reply” and instead hit “Post.” Ugh.

The newspaper's Canadian. Archie comics are based in New York. Silberkleit ran for mayor of Rye, New York.

The spin on this is that she just likes saying "penis" all the time and this attraction to the word or compulsion led her to refer to employees with the word.

That explanation is fishy, but it may not have been a gender or feminist or man-hating thing -- just a "being a jerk in general" thing.

Still, the employees should have a pretty good case against her just for throwing the word around in the office.

Well, zombies are really popular right now...in the 1960s, Archie did spoofs of superhero & superspy stories.

That kind of thing seems relatively harmless - we are talking about comic books here. It was that, in combination with the homosexual ‘marriage’ theme that had me in disbelief, but it makes sense considering the apparent rot at the top.

You win...although with Jeannie you might have to deal with the Blue Djinn.

Of course, one of the problems with Endora is that she's smart. The Blue Djinn? Not so much.

I heard about this lunatic. I didn’t realize she was w/Archie comics. This certainly explains the direction the comic has gone in.
