    …i read the ‘archie’ series from the '50’s to the '90’s, if Betty and Veronica weren’t getting it on at the same time Reggie and Archie were, we were’nt reading the same “OPEN-MINDED” comics…

      Archie inconsistently dates/pursues both Betty and Veronica. Pissed me off even as a small kid reading it cause Veronica is a terrible person.

        I mean, Veronica only moved to town because Archie invited the rich socialite to his small-town prom, even though he was already going to prom with his girlfriend, Betty. He had to juggle two girls all night.

        The fact that Archie continued to date both girls for over 80 years now (as well as a few other randoms over the years) without wholly committing to any one person says a lot about his character.

        I mean, I agree with you. Veronica is a spoiled rich brat. I’d choose the sweet girl-next-door Betty over her, any day. But Archie isn’t exactly a saint either.
