Keller is "Archie Comics' first openly gay character."

“I dont know anyone nowadays who reads them or even knows about Archie.”
Really; I hope they don’t reveal that the Katzenjammer Kids were environmentalists...
Astonishing X-Men #51 portrayed a ‘marriage’ between two male sodomites on the cover a couple of years back...this crap is being published for ONE reason...indoctrination. FU, CPUSAand your ilk.
Oh and dont forget the plot will have to end up Archie was a closet Homo and was protecting his partner
I wonder if future historians will be able to determine the exact date that the USA descended into madness.
Put me down for Nov. 22, 1963.
Just the continuation of an on-going trend.
We racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, etc. sods just won’t act in accordance with the stereotypes assigned to us by the Left, so they have to go out and invent incidents which depict us as they believe we are.
Shame, too—I was a huge Archie fan as a kid.
Wonder if this might somehow qualify as hate speech.
I'm surprised they haven't infiltrated the music industry with homo themed lyrics in songs.
Hetero eye wash:
All of the series of Archie based comics had total sales of aprox. 8000 world wide......they are already dead. we’re just waiting for the funeral!!!
America when I grew up.
For the publisher
And Betty, distraught over Archie’s death and losing Reggie to Veronica, joins “The Unshorn Sisters of the Apocalypse” - a lesbian terrorist organization, and starts bombing Hobby Lobby stores across the nation.
“...This does NOT appear to be a parody or hoax...”
It’s not.
They live in a comic book world.
So what’s the over/under on how long it’ll be before the feature story is Betty in bed with Veronica?
Indeed...my dad, who recently passed, attended Haverhill MA High School in the late 30s. So apparently did Bob Montana, Archie’s creator, who based Riverdale on Haverhill High (and the local paper up there bills it at Haverhill’s Archie)
Wiki: >>Riverdale High School is the local educational institution of Riverdale where Archie and his friends attend the 11th grade. It is based on what was Haverhill High School in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The building still stands, although is now Haverhill’s City Hall. Archie cartoonist Bob Montana attended Haverhill High from 19361939 and drew on his experiences there in drawing the comic.
Last name of Veronica Lodge comes from : “The Lodge family are a prominent New England political family, and among the families who make up the “Boston Brahmins”, also known as the “first families of Boston.” Bob Montana knew the Lodge Family. Henry Cabot Lodge was Nixon’s running mate in ‘60, and a former MA senator. HCL was born in Nahant MA where I grew up—and inspired the ‘real name’ of the cartoon character Chicken Man: Henry Cabot Henhouse...
Soooo, since Archie gets shot. Are we to assume he was in Chicago defending his gay friend? Also, does this mean the publishers of the comic are trying to say that defending gay friends is a bad idea that will get you shot?
At any rate, RIP Archie, I hardly knew you. Which is because I didn’t spend my time reading comics and filling my head full of mush. But if I had, rest assured it would not have been on obscure crapola like Archie. Now, if you really wanted your death to have meant something, you would have kicked off while swimming the Rio Grande to rescue a gay, immigrant toddler from a gun toting militia person. I mean come on, taking a bullet for a gay dude is soooooo yesterday. Yawn. I know, maybe Archie Zombie can come back and eat a white, straight, Obama hating, gun toting border agent that happens to be a member of the Klan and, of course, a family member of Ted Cruz. Now that would be art!!!
So much for Archie’s embrace of the homosexualist lifestyle. Death any way you shake it.
If the publisher REALLY wanted to reflect the quandary of people who “love each other", they would be publishing a pro-polygamy story where Archie marries BOTH Betty and Veronica.
