Archie Comics

Post by Raezyr »

I remember a while back some one mentioned the art style of Ma3 was reminiscent of the original artist for Archie comics. I thought it was kind of funny the latest news for Archie comics.

Its pretty amusing that everybody I have told so far, even if they haven't read the comics in years has a knee jerk reaction to it.

I totally would've gone with Ronnie. Betty just kind of struck me as dull.

Ronnie isn't that shallow. It's just part of her lifestyle. She's had some deep moments. Archie wouldn't marry someone totally shallow.

But the more important question is:

I have to side with Cyanide on this one... I prefer the appeal of who a person is, over what they have. And in my eyes (from back when I used to read Archie comics) Betty was always the girl with the more forgiving nature and fun without being critical.

...

yet, I always thought Ginger had the best chemistry with the Professor on Gilligan's Island, and he was the character I most identified with. Nothing wrong with Mary-Ann, though. ;)

Being English.... despite being aware of the Archie comics... I've never actually read any of them. All I know about them is from watching very few episodes of the cartoons series they had for a while, and from the various pop-culture references made to them in other shows.

Same. The sum total of my Archie-related knowledge comes from the article posted in this thread.

Is there ANYBODY on this Earth that hasn't heard that Archie's marrying Veronica? If so they must be living on a hut on Gilligan's Island eating twigs and berries.

:D

...and Jughead? Jughead's been wearing THE SAME DAMN HAT since 1941, and that hat still rules.

Kid Kool (1988) for the Nintendo Entertainment System is GROSSLY underrated. Sure the concept could've been presented a little better, but it doesn't deserve the hate it gets in some circles.

If it hadn't been for this thread, I would have remained completely clueless.

And that's all I can say about it. *joins Aussie goddesses looking lost*
