Never any stories about Archie and Betty getting married.
It happens.
The trick is getting everything back to normal afterwards.

IT'S just a quick kiss, but it's a long step forward for Archie Comics' only openly gay character Kevin Keller.
The Riverdale teen finds his life turned upside down after locking lips with his boyfriend, Devon, in Pop Tate's diner, drawing the ire of at least one disapproving Riverdale mom.
The woman "gets very offended and kind of pitches a bit of a fit," said Dan Parent, who writes and draws the issue, Kevin Keller No. 10 that is released Aug. 7.
"Kevin is kind of used to that, but Veronica records the whole thing and of course uploads it to the Riverdale equivalent of YouTube and that starts a bit of a debate," said Parent.
For Archie Comics it's a bit of art imitating life. Parent said he wrote the story after efforts to remove a comic magazine showing Keller getting married drew at complaints.

I always thought that Veronica was a hottie...but that was 70 years ago.
I am so tired of hearing about queers and their radical agenda. Can’t they all just go back in the closet where they belong?
Archie Comics was something I used to read, while having an after school snack at the local Woolworth’s. (Yes, I used to buy Archie Comic and go to Woolworth and have a snack. Both of those memories gone!!
They had separate beds. ;)
Entertainment isn’t to entertain. It’s to promote an agenda under the guise of entertainment.
Hey ! Careful how you talk about my girl. :^)
i hope it kills their market
I could never figure just WHY Archie would feature a wedding at all. Gay or straight. These are high school characters.
Never any stories about Archie and Betty getting married.
Now that's realistic. Two 17-18 year old high school boys getting married.
That happens ALL the time.

Maybe it's more what uncles and aunts buy for their nephews and nieces.
I also wouldn't be surprised if, like Donald Duck, they did massive sales overseas.
Isn’t the Cookie Monster a homosexual pedophile?
PUKE!!
Our nation is on the fast track to hell.............
I bet the original author is spinning like a lathe
Poor Hot Dog, he’s next!
Google the 1955 MAD Magazine sendup “Starchie”, where Starchie & Bottleneck bully the freshmen then do in their rival Wedgie van Smelt while the girls Salonica & Biddie are pimply faced drug users. Starchie bites down on chewing tobacco while Bottleneck spits in every other frame and then frames Starchie who gets sent to reform school for life.
Tame compared to nowadays.
I saw an Archie Comic in the checkout line at a store recently, and almost picked it up, just for the nostalgia and to see what happened to the “gang” since I was a kid. Glad I put it back now.
