serious question Who the hell likes Archie? I've heard

Got double digests in the 80's for long road trips with the family just because they were thick and at the checkout stand. Afterlife with Archie is a whole other matter.

Slow down senpai. Baseball is popular in a lot of countries now. The only places that don't play it much are Europe (Netherlands do have a successful national team but that's because they have Caribbean islands that play) and Africa, but they aren't the entire world.

But back to the topic, I don't really get plain Archie either. Afterlife of Archie was good though, fun horror.

Archie has had some great talents associated with it over the years, but most have been overwhelmed and badly treated by a toxic corporate culture.

The rest of the comic book industry has carried Archie, talking it up despite its toxicity, as a means of proving we're not a superhero-only club - while simultaneously ignoring/suppressing all OTHER non-superhero comics.

(This means that funny animal comics and Asterix-type funny adventure comics are very popular everywhere BUT the USA. Even humor comics characters that blanket other media, like Tom and Jerry, Casper the Ghost and Uncle Scrooge, aren't really accepted in comics here anymore. Archie is plugged at their expense.)

There is good Archie, like good Scooby Doo, but it's awash in a sea of mediocrity, and depends on a tilted playing field that treats it better than it deserves.

This. In America, Archie is literally the only comics brand you can buy at your local non-LCS retailers, because it didn't sign Diamond's satanic "direct market" contract. You get it to give your kid something to read, or for nostalgia's sake.

Archie ok. It's a comic book that you don't have to worry about. It's from the era when comic books were for children, for everyone. Nothing really bad happens. Just sit back and read. Enjoy. You remember having the ability to do that when reading a comic book, right?
The "new art" Archie isn't as good, visually, but some of it seems ok, storywise. Example, the running joke in Jughead's comics: "What are you doing with that sword?" But god, yes, if it isn't Afterlife with Archie and Sabrina, it should be done Dan Decarlo style.

>>91805695
Eh, from what I've seen, Archie doesn't particularly have it that good in the comics either. A lot of times he's the butt of a joke, despite (or precisely because of) his good nature.

After all, people without souls are acceptable targets for being laughed at.

I like it. They're very simple stories with cheesy jokes that are sort of a time capsule for old American life. You get a lot of stories for your cash even though they're just recycling a lot of their old material and republishing them into small printed books.

They're usually sold at grocery stores or book stores. I'm more likely to find them in my local bookstore chain than anything cape related (that isn't a hardcover at least)

I'm not sure why it's stuck around so long. Maybe lack of much else about redheads in pop culture? There are plenty of redheads in books and comics, but most end up with some other hair colour in adaptations and redhaired characters in TV/movies are pretty rare (and male ones even rarer). It's made it weird seeing Riverdale retain all the redhaired characters (and there's also an additional one - Ethel, who had black hair in the comics).

Shit man, it IS a harem.
America has Betty or Veronica, Japan has Ryoko or Ayeka.

The difference is that Masaki Kajishima has a fetish and a pair of balls, so he had his protagonist marry them both, and then some.

And the correct answers are Midge and Washu.

I'd say it was a mostly caucasian child experience. Brutha's don't wanna know from that suburban mess. Later issues appealed to them more with the cross-overs, spoofs and weird stories like Afterlife. Otherwise, it was just too corny.

It's such a boring game.

>>91814656

Because its actually really quite fun to play and analyze. Nothing compares to the adrenaline rush of hitting a double, triple or home run and getting an RBI.

Besides that, I love playing the statistics game and planning for teams.

I'm from Bongistan so it was never popular here.

>>91804829

Anything from the golden-age, but there is no real starting point. A number of the digests an collected books contain golden-age stories. This era had the sexiest art.

>>91806781

what if i told you irish isn't a race?

Thing about Archie is that it's mostly inoffensive which makes it sort of timeless. Disregarding pop culture references and advancing technology, they tell the same stories over and over...and they're at least somewhat relatable in a "I understand this trope" fashion. Even if you never go to prom, you can at least enjoy a story about a guy who can't go to prom because if he asks one girl, the other's going to make him pay for it.

It's drawn and written by the only creator of the series that still gives a damn. Everything else that's come out of the doujins has become animated when he got the chance, and every other series he's been in charge of has had a harem end.

See that's your problem. Archie's fans don't really go into comic shops, but they can get Archie many other places.

When I was a kid in the 90s my younger sister loved Archie. The reason was every supermarket we went to always sold those Archie collections at the check-out. They were pretty cheap so my Mom would always buy them for my sister when she asked. She ended up with a huge number of them in her room.

I think Archie endures because of that: they're eternally re-printed and cheaply and easily available.

The sport is called FOOTball, its intuitive that you use your feet.

>>91816878
It's fououtballe, ignorant Amerifat.

>>91816878
The sport was called "soccer", an abbreviation of "association football", to distinguish it from other forms of football games like ruby, since the 1880s. That term was used in the entire English-speaking world for nearly a century.

It wasn't until the late 1970s that "football" supplanted "soccer" as the accepted word, as "football" was preferred by the working and middle classes while "soccer" was used by the upper classes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_for_association_football

So America kept the patrician word for the sport while the rest of the English-speaking world was subsumed by idiot plebs.

Old Archie comics are for boring people.

From that article:

>The word soccer is an abbreviation of association (from assoc.) and first appeared in universities in the 1880s (sometimes using the variant spelling "socker")

>>91804829
Honestly, I think the only reason the company has lasted as long as they have are the licenses they acquired over the years- Sonic, Mega Man, the TMNT.

And know with Sonic being canceled, and their run of Turtles having ended over two decades ago, the only things keeping them afloat are their main series and MM. And lord know what the sales for both of those are.

Also, no, I don't like Archie.

OP you were never allowed to buy Archie Comics from the grocery store huh?

They're probably the easiest comics to buy without going to a LCS, you don't have to read decades of backstory or worry about reboots and relaunches, and the characters are apart of American pop culture which is impressive once you remember how few live action adaptations there are.

Even that fucking song Sugar Sugar is probably one of the most recognizable /co/ related songs of all time.

Archie is full of visibly horny characters of both genders, and fans of both genders seem to be horny for the characters IRL. It seems that typically prude parents have either forgotten or just never notice.

If I had to guess it's because you're literally exaggerating in an attempt to make a point, at least for football. The only time there's ever more than two or three minutes of break time is during offense/defense swaps, time-outs or analyzing plays when determining penalties. And in that 30 seconds of play more stuff happens then in half a baseball game.

The average points scored in a pro baseball game is 4 per team. The average length of a baseball game is 3 hours long. That's fucking torture man.

>>91814656
I think it's probably one of the funnest sports to play, but I'd rather watch paint dry than watch someone else play it.

>>91832300

Forgot to add, baseball is also tedious because of how many games there are. To follow just your team is 160 fucking games per season- compare that to football where each team plays only 16 a season. Literally ten times as many games.

That's why Hockey is the superior sport. Quick action, plenty of physicality, short periods, requires a lot of skill and finesse, goals can happen in completely crazy ways, and if you're lucky, people get into fistfights.

Football game lasts ~190 minutes total.

190/11= 17.2

I wasn't exaggerating I was being kind.

>>91832328
I mean this is how I feel about most games. Watching people play sports is boring af. But I used to play soccer and enjoyed it.

Hey guys >>91811234 here. Starting another Classic Archie storytime in next 20 minutes. See you then!

Early Archie looked like Alfred E. Neuman.

>>91804829
I do, it's pretty comfy because it can be about anything and no one gives a shit because it just works.
I owe Archie my love for comics because he was my first comic ever.

>>91836694

I like Archie comics because they don't pander to SJWs like marvel did

What's illogical about baseball? Within the parameters set up pretty much everything makes sense. Balks? Bunting a ball foul counting as a strikeout? These are the only two things I can see as strange rules.
Also none of what you said keeps soccer from being boring as fucking shit. Jogging and occasionally shooting for 90 is retarded.

>Belgian comics never took off in USA
What a shame

>>91816524
You also forgot the part where soccer is light jogging, more than half of all games end with an exciting 0-0 tie, and the retards get flicked in the ear and act like they were shot. If anything is a great way to scout for future acting talent since that's all that seems to be done in games.

Archie's horror imprint has been releasing at a glacial pace long before Riverdale started. We've had more action for it this year than we've had for a while, what with the Jughead: The Hunger one-shot, Chilling Adventures coming out this summer and the next issue of Afterlife being worked on.

I have a story as to why i like it. Aside from the fun i had reading it, when i had just moved to Florida my mom bought me an Archie comic because she used to read them. I would read them and she would read them and then we'd buy two new books and we would read them together (we even had a day in the park where we did and i had fun). It was only me and my mom in Florida and we both loved reading ,Archie comics sure did help us bond.
So i read them because i generally enjoy them but i also have a bit of nostalgia feel to them (even more so since my mom has MS)

>always hear on /co/ how Archie is popular because unlike DC or Marvel their books can be found in any grocery store
>have looked in every grocery store in my area for years and have never seen a single book from them

Is this only in a certain part of the US?

>>91857506
Huh, the Wal-Mart I go to has some issues of DC and Marvel comics in the magazine aisle.

Granted, it's not in the US.

Hey man, there's still more anime coming. And since the unofficial stuff where he marries everyone is done by the only creator that still cares about the series you'll never know what we'll see. Got to wonder what Jurai would think about one of the royal family heirs dicking a space pirate that laid waste to the planet once.

The one thing I don't understand about soccer is letting the game end in a tie. Every other sport or game I can think of if there's a tie there are over time periods until there's a winner and/or sudden death. How do you decide which team progresses in whatever ranking or tournament you got going if there's a tie?

>>91857793
loss = 0
tie = 1 each
win = 3
then you sum the totals

>>91857581
I've never seen any DC or Marvel in any grocery store either and far as I know I don't have an LCS. Only place I have ever seen any comic being sold were people at the flea market trying to sell 20-30 year old issues of a lot of different companies for $5-$10 per issue. I find the characters that have big movies out to be the more expensive one, so Iron Man usually goes for the most.
