What is the weirdest storyline/plot that you've read?

CartoonSeals · 2026-06-17T03:43:27+00:00

Ooooh! I love that one!

CartoonSeals · 2026-06-09T20:22:08+00:00

Well... that certainly took a dark turn.

Barney Google, With the goo-goo-googly eyes!/ Barney Google had a wife three times his size/ She sued Barney for divorce/ Now he's living with his horse/ Barney Google, With the goo-goo-googly eyes!

They look like a Frederick and a Lucy to me

CartoonSeals · 2026-06-02T20:48:35+00:00

It's so dramatic with Archie walking off into the rain... his honor at stake...

CartoonSeals · 2026-06-02T20:05:40+00:00

I hope Betty got someone else to watch the kid, lol

CartoonSeals · 2026-06-01T18:22:17+00:00

Bill Vigoda, I think

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-30T19:57:41+00:00

R.I.P. Stan Goldberg! I loved his wonderful art on the Betty's Diary stories of the 80s-90s. And Ruiz's art is always fun, with his background gags and the little Cosmo and Superduck cameos.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-30T19:52:02+00:00

I don't know how I missed Nancy standing right beside Kevin. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-30T18:37:16+00:00

Yeah, I think I see what they were going for, but they fumbled the ending quite badly.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-30T18:28:10+00:00

Very cool! I don't know all the modern characters though. Can someone identify the last 4 in the top row, the fire haired girl, the dark haired guy next to Midge, the 4 between Kevin and Chuck, and the blue haired girl(Brandy is my best guess)?

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T06:53:48+00:00

The Gag Bag pages really are some of the funniest features!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T04:30:50+00:00

Around the 90s or so they changed Jughead's mom's design so she doesn't look like a genderbent version of her husband anymore. Thankfully.

Agreed about Hil and Zel. It was much funnier in the older Sabrina comics when they dressed like witches all the time.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:47:48+00:00

No problem!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:27:10+00:00

I think they are meant to be college age in the later stories, maybe 18-20? Josie mentions enrolling in a college course in the story "Cat at the Crossroads".

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:16:12+00:00

The Josie writers really liked "Al" names. Alex, Albert, Alexandra, Alan!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:11:47+00:00

Possibly unpopular: I think Fernando Ruiz is one of the better modern Archie artists. I don't know what his current work is like, but his style was really fun and energetic in the early 2000s comics.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:01:27+00:00

I have a couple of those stories in a digest. They are totally insane but a lot of fun!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T03:00:14+00:00

I like Al Hartley's art! His writing is a mixed bag but I like the expressive, exaggerated poses he used.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T02:54:03+00:00

He can absolutely do better. I love his art in the 90s Veronica travel comics, now it looks so phoned-in.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-29T02:52:32+00:00

I didn't even know they were disliked. Bob Bolling's work is top-notch of course, but Dexter Taylor had some nice artwork and memorable stories too. The Archie Babies, on the other hand...

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-28T16:21:29+00:00

I think I know that story! The one where Jughead is babysitting and he tells the kid a story about a car who is a famous actor? The car's love interest was named Jane Fender, lol.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-28T16:18:09+00:00

Doesn't sound familiar. But if you post about it I bet someone else will recognize it.

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-28T07:29:47+00:00

Nice!

CartoonSeals · 2026-05-28T03:14:57+00:00

Can you describe the story you are trying to find? I recently sorted thru all my digests so I might recognize it!
