Shock of spices ran along my tongue. Jet of warmth spattered on sweater like hot faucet.
It was Archie who said “Betty” then, muffled behind a Pop’s Super Dog. It was Archie who closed his eyes.
It was Pureheart who opened them again.

You can’t stop there.
See, I know that Pureheart isn’t one of the Archie superhero characters who are being imported into the DCU. But he should be. Also, I want to see an Archie Comics remake of Watchmen, with Archie as Rorschach, Reggie as Ozymandias, Veronica as the Comedian, Betty as Silk Spectre, and Dilton as Nite-Owl.
I’ve spent too long thinking about this.
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.
I don’t suppose any of us are shocked that years of exposure to Archie Comics AND Tarot would snap your brain Sims. But its still sad to see it finally happened…
I think better pairings would be Veronica as Ozymandias, Reggie as The Comedian, and Jughead as Nite-Owl.
This.. this has to happen.
I would read this comic.
my mind can not cope with this level of genius at this hour.
I think even Alan Moore would be OK with this.

Did you know setting up your own blog is easy, fast, and best of all free?
I’m just trying to think who Archie can throw down a lift shaft… Reggie as the Comedian? It almost writes itself.
BTW, many many thanks for the link to Girl Genius a couple of days back, mate. It is bloody brilliant. I’m about two months into six years worth of archives, and I never would’ve known this existed without your playpen here. You should add “Provider of Public Services” to your masthead.
Cheers! Have a beer on me!

Oh yeah, and old man Lodge as the original Night Owl. Something about that old bugger just says “piledriver right cross”.
Blogger: “So a skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop.”
Commenter 1: “Just think if he ordered a beer and a broom!”
Commenter 2: “It should be a vampire ordering a bloody mary!”
Commenter 3: “And then the skeleton says ‘I’m not dead yet!!!'”
Commenter 4: “I don’t need alcohol to have fun.”
Commenter 5: “What if it’s a gay bar and the skeleton has a boner!”
Commenter 6: “One time me and my friends were in a bar and we ordered a beer and a mop and the waitress thought we were totally crazy! I’m pretty sure I could have had sex with her that night if I’d wanted to.”
Commenter 7: “so what happens next?”
Commenter 8: “It should be a Frankenstein ordering a Screwdriver!”
Commenter 9: “If it was a Japanese skeleton it could order sake, which is a rice wine they drink there. Would you like to know more about Japan? Ask me!”
Commenter 10: “Umm, actually, Frankenstein’s Monster had BOLTS in him, so it would be more appropriate for him to order a wrench. Is there a drink called a wrench?”
Dave, you forgot Commenter 11: “Meh.”
So, that leaves Moose as Dr. Manhattan?
Certainly, Ms. Grundy would make a fine Sally Jupiter…
Totally off topic, I thought you might enjoy this news item, Chris.
Wouldn’t Cheryl Blossom be Ozymandias? She’s the one who’s excellent at everything she does, right?
Dilton has to be Ozymandias. “Smartest Man in the World”, remember? Also, teleporting a giant monster into Riverdale, er, New York City to trick people into thinking there’s an alien invasion? That’s got Dilton written all over it!
Very funny and clever :)
The Archies tried to be all adult and relevant in their live action film, as this member of the Archie fan forum feels obliged to point out.
I’ve always loved Archies Weird Mysteries though.
Mainly for the scene with the 50 foot Veronica when she loses her covering and all the males in the crowd shot are shown staring and leering, apart from Archie who is shown looking horrified or gay. Or both.
