Archie Andrews: Origin

lwa71wolvarchie

Strange... the poor deranged fellow has been scampering about the Canadian woods for months now and there's still nary a wisp of hair 'pon his apple cheeks. Even creepier? He has no nipples. (Where do I put the alligator clamps?)

Ah,well. Sooner or later, Mister Weatherbee's goons will throw a net over him and drag his ass screaming back to Weapon X Memorial High School.

Well he is the best at what he is and what he is ain't pretty.

Of course, if this had been a Claremont story, ol' Arch wouldn't have been able to restrict himself to a five-word dialog balloon.

Angry Archie is kind of hot.

Other than the "no nipple" thing, he is kinda workin' it. The beauty part? This is a "caveman" version of Archie. And when he's not charging at the reader at full steam, his hair looks like it normally does... only it's a few inches longer in the back. Yup! Cave Archie has a mullet! And so does Cave Reggie! And this story was published a good fifteen years before the hairstyle was actually invented!
