Looks Like Those Rumors Weren't True

You know - the ones about him and Reggie.

I wondered if he ever got laid in those 65 years - by anyone.

Betty is definitely more appealing, but Veronica has a rich dad.

From her perspective, though, I think she could do a lot better than Archie. She just needs to get out of Riverdale so she could have more choices. Who are the men of <I>Archie</I>? I remember Reggie and Jughead, of course. Isn't there a "Moose" who's dating Big Ethel? And there's a nerd, too, but I can't remember his name.

The nerd is Dilton Doiley. There's also Chuck the latecoming Archie character of color who only appeared in the action stories.

I certainly never saw anything between him and Reggie. Jughead is more his speed.

I am a Veronica guy. I've been known to chase a blond or two in my lifetime.

Then why are you a "Veronica guy"?

Dilton! That's it. I wanted to say "Dilbert" but I knew that wasn't right.

I wondered the same. Then I remembered that age-old adage "Boff the Blonde, marry the money". (Well, maybe it isn't so age-old)

What do the following Archie characters have in common, besides being, you know, Archie characters.

Jughead
Moose
Frankie
Ginger
Pop (of Pop's Chok'lit Shoppe)
Valerie and Melody (from the Pussycats), but not Josie
Salem (Sabrina's cat)

No eyebrows?

Jughead's eyebrows are visible just a few posts up from here.

Veronica is very close to my conception of the perfect woman (that is, other than the fact she's a minor).

You like spoiled and manipulative?

Petulance. I love petulance in a girl.

Time's up.

All share the surname of at least one Met.

Forsythe Pendleton "Jughead" Jones
Marmaduke "Moose" Mason
Frankie Valdez
Ginger Lopez
Terry "Pop" Tate
Valerie Brown
Melody Valentine
Salem Saberhagen

Because I got them mixed up, obviously. You know these things were drawn 20 years before I was born.

Moose dated Midge.

Do you suppose Reggie ever snared Betty and Veronica for a threesome?

Benjamin Grimm
May 29 2009 11:41 AM

I forgot about Midge.

Did Big Ethel have a boyfriend? Could it have been Jughead?

TheOldMole
May 29 2009 11:58 AM

She wanted it to be Jughead. He was never interested.

And what was going on between Mr. Weatherbee and Miss Grundy?

Tons. Ever notice how Archie and Saved by the Bell are the same thing?

Benjamin Grimm
May 29 2009 01:02 PM

No, but that's interesting.

I guess Jughead is Screech. I don't know enough about any of the other <i>Bell</i> characters to take this any further.

Archie=Zach

Preppy, confident leader. A charming schemer who simultaneously frustrates his elders and earns their admiration.

Reggie=Slater

Zach's darker friend/romantic rival. Vain, smug, and looking for his comic comeuppance.

Jughead=Screech

Zach's romantically inelegible dorky misfit flunky with oversized facial parts.

Veronica=Kelly

Big-boobed brunette, and the center of both Archie/Zach's and Reggie/Slater's attention, but she seems a little too self-centered to be trusted with our hero's heart.

Betty=Jessie

Bighearted conscientious blonde, strangely willing to play second fiddle to her best friend, who would undermine her interests to string multiple boys along while she waits for the leftovers.

Mr. Weatherbee=Mr. Belding

Baldish principle who is irritated by Archie/Zach's schemes, but privately thinks of him as the son he neve had.

Lisa has no parallel in the Archie universe, but there was definitely an appearance or two by a Moose character in the SbtB world.

Archie fronts a band called The Archies. Zach fronts a band called The Zach Attack. It's ridiculous.

Edge, you used to say years and years ago that you didn't even own a tv.
Were you going cold turkey at the time?

Edgy DC
May 29 2009 01:49 PM

I don't own one because I wasted too many hours watching mindless teeny shit like SbtB.
