THE REAL ARCHIE

Lately, with all of the other Archie posts, the question was raised, "Was Archie always a Christian dickweed?".
The answer is NO, he's usually a secular dickweed.

from BETTY AND VERONICA #39, November 1958

	It's the blandness that's Archie's biggest selling point. Archie comics are perfectly clean and spotless, making them the ideal funny-books for middle-American white-bread parents to bring home to their good little offspring. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Betty and Veronica digests got me though many a long, boring car trip when I was 8-9, so I can attest to that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Me too! I enjoyed Betty and Veronica's friendship, which could be strained even when Archie wasn't around. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	At least in the UK, our kids comics like the Dandy and the Beano had a somewhat anarchic streak, like OUR Dennis the Menace (Not to be confused with his saccharine US namesake), the Bash Street Kids, or Minnie the Minx! (Reply to this) (Parent)
