Riverdale’s secret shame
I got into comics through Archie. As a kid, I think I had two giant rubbermaid containers filled with Double Digests. I grew up on this shit, and only really revisited it within the last year – those comics are messed up. At the core of it, the story is about two female best friends who are hooking up with the same dude and simultaneously hate each other and have BFF slumber parties. That is a hella toxic relationship! Also, he is making kisses with like a plethora of other ladies. Archie is a ho! That shit would not fly in any high school I’VE attended.

I’m just saying, Archie’s junk could probably be a lab specimen.

And that’s precisely the reason why I’m more into other characters, like Ethel; she passed from being a caricature of a boy chaser to a geeky hottie nowadays.
Heh heh he. “Meat-lovers”. “Practitioner”. I will immaturely laugh at that line like I was Bevis and Butthead.
And if you thought the comics were messed up you should have seen the movie.

I must say. I enjoy all of your comics. Everyone of them manages to make smile or laugh or think or feel something and I really appreciate the work you put in to them. Consider me a fan!
Riverdale is a wonderful place. I hear you can also eat a dozen burgers for lunch every day and still be skinniest guy in town.
Great comic. You captured the Archie style perfectly.
I agree with Brian! This is great! I love your comics. I grew up on Archie and Sailor Moon as well and they are the main reasons I got into drawing too.
Love the strip! Yeah Archie is HUGE influence on a bunch of us, huh? Maybe ’cause it was the most available? Don’t know of many other comics that were for sale at the checkout lane of the local supermarket? Big fan of your work, got turned onto it by the guys from Brave New Worlds comic shop here in Philly. Please keep ‘em coming! Hey did your Bravest Warriors come out yet?
Hey, I just finished reading your comic from the beginning and I really like it! I super love the style and humor! Wish there was more for me to devour.
