RIP Jughead
You have gone to that big hamburger stand in the sky.

The creator of the Archie comics has died.

1. I grew up with Archie and I used the comic books to give to my son
when he was a beginner reader and he enjoyed the books.

2. I grew up with Archie Comics and I never once got them.
Superman, Batman, SpiderMan - the barber shop was my comic book heaven, but if all that was left was an Archie I'd be bummed out.

One of the greatest mysteries of the twentieth century.

17. Weird
I've been reading all my old Archie digests from when I was a kid in the 80s just before going to bed. I've read them a hundred times of course, but I still get a chuckle out of them.

19. May he rest peacefully
having provided so many a fun-loving template. I have my "Veronica" voice which my old-time DU friends recognize for the joke it is. Thanks so much Brettikins for letting us know...
