Betty Was The Hippest Kid In Riverdale

Unusually crummy artwork even by Archie Comics' low standards.

Yeah, Betty's no slouch.

She was always my favorite. The voice of reason and she had a think for weird gingers. So I could have had her more than I could get veronica.

Archie's preference for Veronica (to the extent that he ever evinces a "preference" for anything or anyone) is just another example of what an awful, boring idiot he is.

I mean, someone like Jughead, or even Reggie...these are characters you can kind of get behind. But Archie is just a nil. He's one of the blandest, dullest characters ever. I just don't understand how he rates "protagonist" status or what the girls see in him (the drawing is hardly flattering, and he's always talking out of the side of his mouth or suddenly screeching to a halt with his feet because he forgot something because he's an idiot).

The only other central character maybe less deserving of that elevated status in a group of more interesting characters is Mickey Mouse. But at least he's got his mischievous side; I'd give it to the mouse over Archie, any day.

You are preaching to the already converted, my friend. I still have scars from all those Bible Arcies.
