I remember how "controversial" it was when Archie dealt with Viet Nam in the 70's (finally). Still in all I never saw this comin'. I thought cartoon girlfriends only came in two colors... Blonde and Brunetet".

The times they are 'a changing, Worfster ... sometimes for the better.

When I was a kid there was no Valerie at all in the Archie strip, i.e. not perceived need even for tokenism.

That's just awesome! I didn't know about the gay marraige...also awesome!

Archie was always my favourite comic as a kid...maybe I should start reading it again. :D

Yeah, pretty sad. When I was a kid they were 10¢ ... but that was long, long ago.
