Who do you consider the biggest jerk in ALL of Archie comics?

Sometimes Big Moose can be quite a jerk too.Imagine hitting guys for just talking to his girl Midge.


SAGG

Or the guys merely by looking in her direction. Or by merely thinking about doing it... :2funny:

The characters who are being a bully i consider jerks

BettyReggie

A lot people would say Reggie. He always bothers Archie & Jughead. I'm surprised that actually give him a chance. They don't have to be his friends with him.

DeCarlo Rules

Pretty much a tie between Teddy Tambourine and Samson Smythe.  :knuppel2:

Midge Klump

Reggie would seem to be the obvious choice, but deep down I really think he see Archie, Jughead, Betty, and Veronica as close friends. He is just that guy who's nature is to rib anyone he feels is weak enough to take it and most are except for Moose.

Um, Jon Goldwater?  :o

I'm gonna go with Nancy S. on this one.

And now that a mere few months have passed, I must admit that I've done almost an about-face on my former opinion. I've since learned a few more things about JG, and now I can easily envision a scenario where in a battle of office politics to turn the tide of opinion in his favor, certain situations may well have been exacerbated or magnified (just possibly, even engineered) for the purpose of creating a villain to sway the editorial staff in a certain direction.

That, and looking at a trail of past publishing decisions on JG's part tends to make me leery of both his ability and his motives, so now I'm more inclined to go along with HarryLuceyFan on this one.

Archie... A two-timing social climber.

Calling him a two-timer is selling him short in that area. He's certainly got more girls in play than just two. On the other hand, you can hardly accurately call him a social climber.

There's no evidence in any of the stories that Archie seeks to improve his social status by dating Veronica, or is only latching on to her in hopes of working himself into a favorable position with Mr. Lodge -- in fact, if that were true he should stop dating her immediately, since the more time he spends hanging around, the lower Mr. Lodge's opinion of him seems to fall.

This reminded me of a story from the 60s (maybe) were Jughead and Reggie think he only dates Ronnie because he wants to be a part of that high society and have her money; he of course denies it.

Pretending you can afford something when your wallet is empty is a form of social climbing. Seriously, Veronica is out of Archie's league.

And yes, there are a number of stories wherein Archie tries to fit in Veronica's upper crust crowd.
