  • Tuxedo Mark: Brunette: I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if she turns back to men. According to her girlfriend, my then-girlfriend started thinking she might be a lesbian sometime last year, simply because her friend said she had a crush on her. She said my ex-girlfriend simply had never considered the possibility that she was anything but heterosexual. I mean...seriously? 27 years, 4 of which were spent in a romantic relationship with me, and she never ONCE thought she might be a lesbian? And all that it took to get her thinking so was a girl saying she had a crush on her?

    March 09, 2010, 10:52:35 AM
  • Tuxedo Mark: Surprise: Actually, I feel she's been thoughtless about my feelings for a while now. Both she and her girlfriend say she agonized over her decision to break up with me, because she didn't want to cause me pain. However, I feel she handled everything about it wrong. She didn't tell me that she's a lesbian until after she was already engaged to her new girlfriend. She didn't tell me that she and her friend were involved until I expressed interest in chatting with her last month. She didn't even tell me about the engagement at all. However, she did seem perfectly fine with announcing it on a Transformers forum . It's nice to know that an ex-fiance is a lower priority to her than a casual forum acquaintance.

  • betty cooper andrews: Hey anyone
    March 09, 2010, 08:55:03 AM
  • Surprise: TM, now she's just being thoughtless about your feelings.  You will be very aware in the future that it was a good thing you are not in this relationship anymore; I know from previous experience with an ex-boyfriend who told me personal things like this.

  • Tuxedo Mark: I feel bad all over again. My ex-girlfriend recently told me that she got permission to visit her girlfriend, possibly next month. I know I should be happy for her, but I just feel...physically ill instead. :(

THE NEW LOOK RETURNS! ...AND BETTY PLAYS HARD BALL WITH ARCHIE!

THE NEW LOOK RETURNS! ...AND BETTY PLAYS HARD BALL WITH ARCHIE!

Archie's dynamic “New Look” caught international attention when images of Betty & Veronica as drawn by Steven Butler appeared on TV, magazines and newspapers worldwide. After two years of “New Look” stories, it was announced that the Pals ‘n’ Gals story “A Funny Kind of Love” would be the last and all Archie Comics would return to the classic Archie drawing style going forward.

In the wake of that announcement, letters and emails from fans expressed their overwhelming demand for more “New Look” stories and collections of all the previous 4-shot titles.

In response, Co-CEO Jon Goldwater announced, “Archie has a long and proud tradition of reading every letter and email sent to the company and listening to what our fans want. The fans want more ‘New Look’ stories, and in response we will give them exactly that. In April the ‘New Look’ will return!”

Continuing the “New Look” is author Melanie J. Morgan, author of all of Archie’s previous “New Look” stories. Joining Melanie is artist Rod Whigham, best known for his work on G.I. Joe, the Flash and the Punisher.

Look for this exciting new tale in BETTY & VERONICA DOUBLE DIGEST #180…


“No Baseball for Betty”: Spring is here again – time to “play ball!”  But this year the Riverdale softball team’s best shortstop, Betty Cooper has decided to play hard ball instead!  That’s great for Betty, but not so great for Archie and Veronica.  After all, Betty will be competing with Archie for the shortstop position… and competing with Veronica for the amount of time spent with Archie!  Will Betty’s big move be a grand slam or a total strike-out?

I do.  Mainly because they did announce they were stopping the New Look stories.  I'm guessing they got some feedback from that announcement that some people enjoyed them and wanted to see more.  I know I like seeing more of them!

I liked them for what they were.  It was an interesting take on the characters.  People can take it or leave it but the realistic style might be helpful in bringing the series closer to a reality movie.

When you think how obsessed kids can be over Hannah Montana, which is extremely hokey, it's hard to understand why Archie can't be made to have more relevant appeal to a new audience.

i'm fine with new look, it gives the fans some variety of choices. it's different if they completely change everything to new look. i would get angry if they do that. but as long they are giving us some choices, i'm okay with it.

I don't mind the new look stories. I think it is because the style that we know is still there. I am thinking along the lines of Honeybee. I would also be quite upset and angry if the style of the comics were completely changed

I'm with most everyone else.  As long as there's a balance between new look Archie and classic Archie, I'm all for it.

I think that's one of the reasons why the Little Archie makeover in 1991 didn't last more than a couple of years...they completely changed the look and feel of the comics, which turned quite a few people off.

They could have announced that with no intention of actually stopping, then they could say that they're bringing it back due to (false) demand.
