Archie Comics Boys vs girls hockey
« on: January 24, 2012, 05:23:32 PM »
In a comic I saw, I remember Betty, Veronica, Ethel, and Midge play hockey against Archie, Jughead, Moose, and Reggie. What comic was it? Can anyone tell me what it is?

Were they playing hockey with brooms for a charity?

That's unfortunate.  I want to see Betty and Veronica break Archie's face.   :angel:

yes. Do you know what it is?

All I remember is that it was penciled by Bob Bolling.  I can try to find it, but that would involve searching through literally tens of thousands of stories in my collection.

I know there was one with the classic "Sexist Males Storyline", where the girls' gym class was getting less money from the school, and so they challenged the boys to a contest. The boys were being unusually sexist, as is the norm for these kinds of stories, and the girls decided on a "Broom Hockey" match, because "who knows more about brooms than A GIRL!" The girls beat the boys and earned a fair share of the school's money, and Ethel "swept Jughead off his feet" in the end. Is that the same story everyone remembers?

Just once, I'd like to see a story where the men just CRUSH the women in a contest like that. Just to be different :). I know the boys occasionally got small victories (Jughead once won a cooking contest after Betty triumphantly won the Bucking Bronco contest, so both groups were tied), but it's such a default here to have the males be sexist and then lose with great embarassment. In comics and in cartoons.

Fine, don't but so curt with everyone :P.

Luckily I actually wrote down the issue in my own personal "Archives" so that I don't have to go looking for every good story I've read.

Here I have it:
Archie's Pals & Gals #17- Archie offends the Prince at Ronnie's. Archie photographs pets (including Wendy's Tarantula). Midge's diet. Ron & Nancy break up Chuck & Archie team. Broom hockey (boys vs. girls). Jughead's Yo-Yos (Reggie gets kicked in the butt at the end). Arch & Ron get ludicrously hot & heavy. (I'm pretty sure that's the one where it looks they're totally about to break the Comics Code in one panel- edit: just re-read it, and yeah, it's one of those oddly-drawn late-80s strips, and Reggie interrupts Arch & Ron on the sofa with a phone call, and Archie goes "now where were we? Oh yeah MMMMMM" and basically throws Ronnie back onto the sofa with a kiss)

Yep, that's the one.  :)

Completely agreed.   :angel:

Is the pals N gals #17 the 1955 issue or the double digest issue?

Since it was drawn by Bob Bolling, I'd assume it was the Double Digest.

Well, let me know if you have found it. Also, Can you tell me what comic shows Veronica Lodge in her own London fashions?

Veronica In London (Veronica #14) probably has the London fashions.  All Veronica comics when they first came out had fashion pages.

I'm sorry, but I remeber seeing anothr boys vs girls broom hockey in another Archie digest. In this issue, the girls were wearing helmets but unlike the previous one they boys were not. Can anyone please help me what that other issue was?
