Culture: Archie’s got a new friend, and he’s (*gasp* spoiler alert) gay

  • *GASP* What will Archie and the gang think? The most conservative of daily comics, Archie, is getting a bit of a shake-up later this year, when a new character, Kevin Keller, steps onto the scene is. Thing is, though, he’s gay. And that might throw the sensibilities of the entire comic out of whack. Or not. Either way, on the cultural scale, Archie is now officially twelve years behind the sitcom’s acceptance of gay characters in the form of “Will and Grace.” source

Culture: Archie is finally ready to choose his lady. Great. Now we don’t care.

  • Betty or Veronica? Who gives a crap? After 68 years of keeping comic book fans vaguely interested in their boring misadventures, Archie Comics has finally decided that, in August, its main character will propose to either Betty (the blond one) and Veronica (the black-haired one). Personally, we think Archie should actually make us interested in his stupid comics again by marrying Jughead. It’d be so modern and unexpected! source
