I think the modernizations introduced later on wouldn't have appealed to me, but the old ones were okay. I always thought it was similar to Dobie Gillis, except Dobie lusted for the beauty while being persued by the homely girl, whereas Archie had two pretty girls competing for him.Cap'n Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11783977137812876489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-15610578621347408882012-03-18T08:55:24.962-05:002012-03-18T08:55:24.962-05:00Starchie was great.

I loved the Signet paperbacks from the early Sixties that reprinted stories from the first dozen or so issues of MAD.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-44998035422738046962012-03-18T08:53:23.336-05:002012-03-18T08:53:23.336-05:00Mrs. Howell never really appealed to me in any sen...Mrs. Howell never really appealed to me in any sense other than comedic. However, when I watched some HAPPY DAYS reruns a few years ago I noticed that Mrs. C (Marion Ross) was considerably hotter back then than I ever realized at the time.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-21029139593107414752012-03-18T08:25:44.256-05:002012-03-18T08:25:44.256-05:00The archie betty veronica marriage story arc is ki...The archie betty veronica marriage story arc is kind of on what terry pratchett calls the "trousers of time" theory - two different story arcs based on choices archie makes. At the end of the arc the timeline resets and he's back to where he was.Suresh Ramasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115337255064583852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-34409429371318496932012-03-18T08:15:23.577-05:002012-03-18T08:15:23.577-05:00"Ginger or Mary Ann?"
I notice no one..."Ginger or Mary Ann?" <br /><br />I notice no one ever picks Mrs. Howell.<br /><br />And, yes, I preferred Little Archie over Archie but my heart still belongs to Mad Magazine's "Starchie."Jerry Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482856733981933159noreply@blogger.com
