A little off topic, but
Did you ever notice that transgender people look way hotter than liberal leftist women? Not that I'm attracted to either, I'd want my head bashed in if so.
That’s an exceedingly low bar, isn’t it?
Not that I'm attracted to either, I'd want my head bashed in if so.Problem is, sometimes TG's are difficult to distinguish.
Perhaps a good reason to woo women in bikinis at the swimming pool.
Who doesn't?
Not if the LOWER part of the picture is shown!
Liberal Democrats RUIN EVERYTHING they touch!!
“Too bad, haters” — read the text. Their problem is not hate, but indifference. It’s not edgy, it’s boring.
Based on storylines, I have to assume there are no heterosexuals reading comics any more.
“Could a transgender Incredible Hulk be too far behind? “
More likely a homosexual Hulk, and the heterosexuals won’t like what he does when he gets mad.
Comics...now written and sold to the 2%, plus another 1% who live in their parents’ basement.
If I read the numbers correctly....there’s only 15,000 people in America reading Archie on a monthly basis. Figure $2.75 a copy. So the company brings in $41,250 a month. Take out production and shipping ($30,000), and they sustain the publication off $11,250 a month. You can figure the whole staff to be no more than four individuals max.
All this hype....over a publication that barely reaches 15,000 people a year?
You probably have just as many folks reading Chubby Girls Digest, Hot Wheels Collectors Journal, and monthly publication of Amish Cooking Recipes.
Free market has nothing to do with it. The Archie comic franchise has been sacraficed for “the cause.” Articles like this get a hundred times more exposure than the comic ever will. The author will be properly demonized and the soccer moms can return to watching Oaphrah.
And can anyone explain why Mr. Andrews didn't have freckles on the various TV series beginning around 1968 (who else remembers US of Archie from the runup to the bicen, where forebears of the characters meet people like Thomas Paine, F.S. Key, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Edison, Teddy Roosevelt when he was a Dakota rancher, and the Wright brothers)?

I’m 30 and comics were popular when I’m growing up. You’re right, only comic book nerds read them now.
I have never observed anyone ever buying an Archie comic, much less anyone claiming it as their favourite title. If someone told me that all this gay garbage has ruined Archie for them, it would be the same thing to me if someone thought the home jewelry shopping network is unwatchable because too many rubies are featured or something.

I think it shows in the subject matter too. When they appealed to kids, they avoided controversial subjects because that could turn off the parents. Now, they only have a limited audience of adult collectors. So, they go for more and more controversial stories that might become seen as collectible.
Why else would any adult, probably male, buy an Archie book, unless they thought the “gay wedding” issue would be worth lots of money 30 years from now?
But the problem is that if there are 10,000 copies of the “gay” Archie issue in mint condition 30 years from now, it’ll not be worth all that much.
