The Saturday Comics: Archie

4 Feb

February 3, 2011

Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, they need no introduction. Seriously, they don’t. America’s favorite teenager (sorry Dick Clark)has been around for over 60 years and despite the general downturn of the comics industry Archie Comics still make the news for introducing groundbreaking characters, like Riverdale’s first homosexual character.

Archie Comics has also been in the news lately since it’s foul-mouthed CEO has just been banned from the Archie offices.

However, please enjoy this batch of the less-rarely known Archie comic strips, taken from various eras. I think you can spot the hippie era.

I had to share that picture. A place in Seattle performed a puppet version of the MST3K classic Manos, the Hands of Fate. Doesn’t the Master look cute? I’m just sorry we can’t see Torgo’s humongous knees. The MST3K book claims he is some sort of goat-man but I have my doubts.

                   
Meanwhile, what’s going on here this week?  Glad you asked.

Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride is all about yours truly this week.

We’ll talk about my experiences during the filming of King Kong (The original Big Ape) on Monday. On Tuesday I’ll regale you with my dinner date at Buffalo Wild Wings and on Wednesday I’ll stay in the spotlight with a story from my experiences in the corporate world. Thursday features another OTR interview I did for the OTRr Buffet. On Friday I step aside and the Imponderable poses another wacky question and on Saturday the regular Saturday Comics feature unveils a new twist. All this, a woman named Saarah, and more, this week on Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride.
