What's the deal with Archie? You ever notice that at the check out stands at the grocery store that they always have a bunch of issues of Archie but you never see anyone buy one? I worked at a grocery store for a year and a half in high school and never once did I see anyone buy an Archie comic book. Who's buying these things? Not only is there Archie, but there's a Betty and Veronica comic and Jughead's got his own shit too. I can't believe that they're selling all those comics at all 20 or so check out stands and not only that, there's like a new issue almost evertime I go to the store. You never see a fanatical Archie fan waiting for the goddam store to open so he can get his hands on the newest Archie. Who the hell is buying them? Are there Archie conventions where people sell and trade rare Archie comics? Maybe an ArchieCon if you will? Are there any Archie die hards here on the forums?
Poll added for extra interest and discussion.
Betty
Veronica

i'd try to work the 3-way angle myself. but archie is too much of a pussy to do that.
so, i'd vote for the sugar mama.

Probably Betty, Veronica is too much of a bitch. But as username said I'd go for the 3-way angle also but with only one I'd go with Betty.

For some reason my mom thought that the fact that I read those things when they were placed in the car meant I liked them, so I read way, way to many of those god damn nightmares. They are the most boring thing.

HAHAHAHA, that's probably a highly sought after issue at the ArchieCon, if it exists.

I don't care who you are, that's funny right there! /Larry the Cable Guy
I myself would pick Veronica, as I'm not really into blondes. Plus, Veronica is the one with the cash.

So which one does more damage?

My grandmother use to have a brand new Archie comic waiting for me every time I use to hang out at her house. I was probably about 8 or 9. For some reason I really liked them, though I'm sure they were horrible. But at least they introuced me to comics. Wouldn't be long before I discovered Alan Moore.
Thanks for the gateway drug, Grandma! RIP.
BTW, Veronica all the way. You know she's crazy in bed.
