WTF?

[vpintheak]

Just part of the way they perpetuate themselves and make more. Shocking abuse of children. Perverting their minds and destroying their souls.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Even back in the 60’s I wondered why Archie comics existed.

Evil

[HighSierra5]

Comic books were always for weirdos.

[Kudsman]

They never stop attacking. I humbly beg people to finally understand. And tell everyone you know.

Trump is my offense. May God please continue to bless his servant.

[Rastus]

Mags Visaggio is an ugly dude named Brian. So you can imagine how he looks “as a woman.” I’ll spare you the photo.

I always wondered, who was Archie for? I’d see it on the rack but never knew anyone who bought it. Seemed way lame compared to other comics. Was it for girls or what?

Freegards

I think its main audience was girls? Seemed like it to me; my friends sisters would read them while we read Superman, Batman, Spider Man, Sgt. Rock, etc. The 60’s were so long ago....

[patriot torch]

lol I always thought Jughead was queer.

[Angelino97]

I never bought comics.

But when I was a pre-teen in the late 1960s, the barber shop had Archie comics, so I read them there. I thought Betty was the pretty one. I didn't understand why Archie preferred Veronica.

I also didn't understand why Archie had checkerboards drawn on the side of his head. Or why Veronica and Reggie had blue streaks in their black hair.

[No name given]

Very.

[No name given]

If this is a joke, it’s a very sick unfunny joke at that.

[wally_bert]

Struck me as pragmatic.

[Dr. Sivana]

Well, some weirdos are better than other weirdos. Note, my screen name is a comic book character.

[Dr. Sivana]

Archie had gotten a sales boost with the homo Kevin Kellner character. They are trying to repeat that success with a flurry of sales, then the novelty dies, and a segment of the readership does not come back.

[Responsibility2nd]

Archie comics have always had a sexual overtone.

I never minded.

[Dr. Sivana]

My sisters resd them, but I read them too. The same kind of people who would have liked the TV show Happy Days, generally like the comic. Jughead was my favorite, but backin the day the artists actually tracked the fashions, and Betty, Veronica and Katy Keene were always kept up to date for the female readership. The characters were largely inspired by radio’s “The Aldrich Family”

[UnwashedPeasant]

The Left liked to take wholesome things and corrupt them. Like with Disney and Boy Scouts.

[Dr. Sivana]

I didn't understand why Archie preferred Veronica.

Archie wanted what he couldn’t easily have.

The blue streaks are highlights within the limitations of four color comic book presses. Superman had them too. The checkerboard isa cartoony embellishment like Mr Weatherbee’s hair or Jughead’s needle nose.
