I’m thinking Jughead might object.

Of course it would be a veteran. I’m calling it right now that Archie is going to have a fling with a guy before the end of this decade.

They should have pulled the plug on this series years ago.

The most noble, honorable character is always gay.

My thoughts exactly. Who actually reads Archie Comics anymore? I haven't read one in at least 30 years, and even way back then they were dull and outdated.

Can you imagine the impact if all Freepers were to boycott Archie Comics?

Does anybody read this anymore? I suppose the three people who do should speak up.

lol. I don’t believe one FREEPER reads that. The truly might be a who cares moment because they sell what five mags a year?

Up until a few years ago my kids read them.

They display the Archie’s Digest, Jughead, Betty & Veronica mini tabloid comics at the checkout line of the grocery store.

They’re targeted at preteens.

Question, you think when the writer wrote “Beat Off” he giggled to himself? The publisher couldn’t had a straight face when this was approved to go to print.

About 55 years ago my friends and I came across an X-rated Archie comic book. Without going into details it was the best Archie comic ever written. I wish I could get my hands on that again...

I honestly had no idea that the strip was still being written. Guess I need to take more of an interest in the print media.

Even if few people read these comics anymore, the point here is that they are trying to normalize homosexual marriage and homosexuality through these comics.

Archie average print circulation last year was 35,000. Sales were closer to 18,000. Such disparity isn't unusual for newsstand distribution.

I’m sure at least one of the two readers of Archie’s will object.
