read Archie back in the 60’s. Definitely Betty, not Veronica. And Mary Anne, not Ginger.

Ditto to both.

Now the for the choice: Jeannie or Samantha?

Jeannie has the advantage of being far hotter than Samantha.

Whereas Samantha

has the advantage of being at least unlikely to dangle you over a pool of sharks when she's jealous.

I think you meant to respond to riri’s post.

Whoops....

[Kip Russell]

(responded to the wrong post, let's try this again)

Do kids even read Archie anymore? I loved them growing up.

Certainly not in the number they used to, but that's true of all comics.

When my daughter was younger I picked her up one of the digests, it was, like, $8. I was, like, seriously???WTH? And that was before Soteros inflationary regime. Now they are probably twice that

The current price of an Archie Double Digest is $3.99. Perhaps you bought her one of the larger trade paperback collections.

and filled with harmful propaganda. No thanks. I'd stick with, I dunno, Japanese anime or something.

While there's plenty of good manga out there ("anime" is Japanese animation) and much of it is suitable for children, be careful...there's a lot of manga that's only appropriate for older readers.

Betty and Veronica love penis.

“By yelling ‘Penis! Penis! Penis!’ During a meeting”

Ohhhhh........a team building meeting.

Perhaps you bought her one of the larger trade paperback collections.

Yeah, maybe. It was an impulse buy before a long road trip.

It's just sad to see every corner of society used as a propaganda pushing tool. From sports to comic books--

“By yelling ‘Penis! Penis! Penis!’ during a meeting”.

Barney Frank did the same thing at every meeting and look at how many times he got re-elected. You can’t have a meeting in Massachusetts without having five or six people jump up and yell “Penis! Penis! Penis”. That’s how they start all their meetings at Harvard.

Funny!

Jeannie. I used to dream of Jeannie.

[JerseyHighlander]

That explains the Archie Comics previously inexplicable shift to openly gay characters and storylines earlier this year.

[Kip Russell]

Jeannie. I used to dream of Jeannie.

I'll take Jeannie as well. Even if she was a bit, well...insane at times (but in a really hot way!).

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

But Nancy Silberkleit's lawyer says the lawsuit is bogus because white men aren't members of a "protected class,"

WTF?

Is her lawyer insane? He thinks that the laws don't apply to white males? Did I miss a memo or something?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

WTH did i just read?

[riri]

Jeannie was pretty needy. (:

[skinkinthegrass]

Mary Anne, fer sure.. ;-)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"Not members of a protected class" indeed.

Women good, men bad.

Women never do nothing wrong.

[Safrguns]

>>> Lol - I see what you did there.

yeah... well, it’s been my observation that people just cannot seem to help but vocalize the source of their own guilt and/or the deepest desires of their hearts.

[TwelveOfTwenty]

There was a time when men would reply in kind.

If they did that now, they would be open to sexual harassment allegations. They're doing the right thing.

We are in a post-male society.

Why? Because these men have chosen to stand up for their rights, rather than let her walk all over them?

So, if Donald Trump or, better yet, the Koch brothers started referring to their female employees as vaginas, the media would still treat it as a big joke?

Congratulations, you’ve passed Women-101. Forget about the rest it’ll just frustrate you.
