Quote from: VCRClock;1969785a lot of archie talk

Yeah, they've openly admitted to wanting to do anything to make it in newspapers like.. ten years ago. On the PLUS side, now that Archie's dead in an alternate universe but not the main timeline, they're finally one of the big boy comics that are decades younger

Do you think they're hiring?

My baby The Archies Meet The Gothic Archies in Demolition Derby Deathmatch needs an angel.

I'm also working on the hour-long TV drama Archie Apologizes for Each and Every One of His Godawful 1970s Saturday Morning Cartoons.

Quote from: VCRClock;1969785this is so weak
apparently "life with archie" is the series of comics that explores what archie & friends would be like after high school/college, and they're capping off this series with archie's heroic death
thus archie dies in canon (omg!) and archie comics gets to put out an "ARCHIE DIES" press release (omg!!!) but they still get to continue churning out the adventures of regular old alive high school archie. this is like the time archie got married, although honestly i'm more impressed by archie canonically picking either betty or veronica than i am by his eventual death
i find archie comics a little depressing because they feel like something that used to be very popular once upon a time, but have become laughably irrelevant to their original core audience, and are kept afloat only by dwindling obsessive fans and nostalgia addicts. it's like if "gasoline alley" had a cult.

this is an awesome post, VCR. I don't think I've ever met someone who reads Archie, or even ever discussed Archie IRL. It's just... there.

Whenever I think of Archie I think of that Sugar, Sugar song...

Never having seen this cartoon, I'll have to take your word for it... but Archie's Funhouse was a cavalcade of weak jokes and recycled animation.

Having never heard of the show before, that video was goddamn painful.

I'd complain about people ignoring Dr. Maya Angelou, but honestly it seems degrading to refer to her as a "celebrity".

I was always aware of it growing up because the sonic comics were published by the same company, the few times I picked up an archie digest book at the store I quickly put it down, it's just so bland and uninteresting. I have no idea who's buying these or what they enjoy about them. As for the sonic comics I quit reading em when this one writer turned the entire series into furry romance melodrama until he was fired. He still tried to publish more echidna soap opera shit as novels but got shot down by sega and archie comics.

the only comics i owned as a kid were archie, chuck norris karate kommandos and sectaurs

i dont know where they came from but the latter 2 owned

oh yeah i had some valiant comics too with shadowman and master darque and stuff ... those were v cool

I just heard, myself. That is the worst possible news
