  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

it's already been answered, but i really like that they were using The Wizard of Oz reference. it means that Betty really consider Juggie as her best friend, because Scarecrow is the first friend of Dorothy. i always blabbering  :'( when Dorothy said, "I'm gonna miss you the most, Scarecrow." when Dorothy said goodbye.

Wait. Little Archie is said to be in another dimension, but then Archie flashes back to his Little Archie days. What?



I think  the writers means some of Litle Archie's more action packed Adventures

It's just unfortunate that in the recent Archie spoof of the Wizard of Oz (Betty & Veronica Digest #188), Jughead was the tin man.  If Jughead had been the scarecrow in that story, it would've been even cooler.

Besides, if you look at the Wizard of Oz, the tin man was going to Oz to find a heart...and if you look at it, when someone wants to look for a "heart", it could also be interpreted as love.
Jughead could be that very personification, as if he shows off that he hates girls, but could open his heart if the right one came along.

Just a little overanalysis and rambling though...carry on...

yes, but i probably have to pay in Dollar (i haven't check, though) and shipping cost... which is more expensive than my local stores, which is much cheaper, 'cause it's in my country's currency.

Just got this one today. Really bizarre in a few ways, but I certainly appreciate the story length- no "seven page wonders" here.

-The storylines from the Betty-marriage portion appear to have merged into the Ronnie-marriage one. Moose hooks up with the blind New Age girl, and Jughead starts to make pals with Midge. Though the Moose/Midge break-up scene was quite well done.

-OK, Mr. Lodge attempting to BRIBE Archie into divorcing Betty and come marry Ron to make her happy was FURIOUSLY out of character, and rather creepy. I mean, huh?

-Cute pop culture references abound as Betty describes the list of guys she dated "just like Archie"- Richie Cunningham, Andy Hardy, Zach Morris, and more :).

-Time-travelling Dilton appears to be at the heart of this, showing some continuity with the older stories.

-A cute moment with Miss Grundy & Mr. Weatherbee, though it has a certain sad element to it as well (for obvious reasons).


...There were a couple of those references (to Betty's post-Archie beaux) I didn't get .
  Presumably they were 80s-and-beyond " kids' " sitcoms that I didn't watch ?
  Could you list all of them , please ?

...I do wonder how long they can carry this , especially for a monthly .
  How " serious " can they take the situations ?
  Mr. Lodge trying to split A/B up is fairly strong - if fairly old-fashioned/kind of melodramatic - --- but it's hard to imagine Archie contenancing even any serious threat of cheating , or drug use , corporate crime , or random/street violence beyond maybe a random mugger/robber :o .
  Hey , what about the imaginary song Archie is shown singing at the club ?
  Lyrics to ( presumably ) non-existent songs as they are presented ewithin comics ( and " real " book too :D ) are an unterest of mine - I've been trying to popularize the phrase " leer-ics " for them .
  One oddity of LWA is that the creator credits are VERY obscure ??? !
  They're WAAY down low , on the bottom of the first page where the editor's name/etc. is , not in the usual place on the first page of , or even on a " title page " directly facing , the story itself...
  I got rather mad at Archie at another board about this , in fact ! :P :embarrassed: :2funny:

...More-
  And it's odd that Michael Uslan (who I was suprised was continuing with this , in fact , since he's a pretty " BIG TIME MOVIES-TV PERSON " :laugh: 8) , but , sinve he DID create this in the first place , so... :angel:) would go along with such obscure credits...maybe since he IS (I presume , still) a B-TMTP , he just sees this as a side job :buck2: !...
  Oh , and the presumed split of the Lodges being mainline Protestant while the Coopers being Catholic or High Church Episcopal continues , from the repeated panels...
  The original 600-602 storyline had the nice touch of the Andrews always calling Mr. Lodge " Mister Lodge " , not by his first name , 'til being in the waiting situation to-gether as expectant grandpaprents finally brought Mr. Lodge down a little bit...
  I think the full name for Moose might be a 100% invention for this title , though I suppose that it might eventually spread all across the Archieverse...I guess Moose is " Moose Mason " now but wasn't he " Moose manville " once ?
  If not him , IIRC there was an Archie character whose last name was " Manville " , or similar , once , which was I'm sure a cutesy contemporary joke to a " millionaire playboy " type called Tommy Manville who was a gossip-column regular around the time of the  World War II years (look him up) .
  It would be rather like Lohan or Hilton as a " funny " last name now .
  I know that Mr. Lodge's name of " Hiram Lodge " is even relatively recent , that 80s " Comics Collector " article referred to him by another name entirely ! ( Oh , and BTW , both the " Hiram " and another element of another character's real name is a sign that someone at Archie was likely a member of the men's social club the Masons - " Hiram " and that other phrase are terms that figure in the Masons , but I can't recall the deatils now . )
  Actually , IS LWA nessecarily in the same storyline as the #500-505 stories , which , after all , pretty much had to lead to children and a happy fireplace , so to speak ?
  Wouldn't it better for the possibility , anyway , of the marriage breaking up or other bad things happening existing , simplay as a dramatic possibility/not having the ending to set in advance ?
  Oh , and didn't the #500 story have Dilton wonder what he was going to do after school ?
  It's interesting that , although a genius whose disappearance is news enough to be a tabloid headline , he's seeming rather eccentric/unworldly - with a rather " weird-look " ( and " Jewish "-looking as well ) beard -
  Oh , and isn't it interesting that EVERYONE in the Archie gang are such achievers that they have accomp,lished all this when all seem , really , to be under 25 :D ;) :2funny: ( And Archie and both B/V marrying straight out of college...) ?

It's definitely a different way of presenting the credits than most comic book readers are used to! Keep in mind that Life With Archie is a magazine, not a comic book, although it almost exclusively carries comic book stories. The credits/contents page in any magazine is set up differently than it would be in a comic book, partly out of magazine industry tradition, and partly out of publishing requirements.

I've known his name to be Moose Mason at least back into the 1970's if I remember correctly.  I've never heard of Manville so possibly you are thinking of another character.
I know that Mr. Lodge's name of " Hiram Lodge " is even relatively recent , that 80s " Comics Collector " article referred to him by another name entirely !
I don't remember any name other than Hiram.  It's possible they used another name in the past but I don't recall.  I'd have to check some of the 1940's issues.  Possibly someone else may have an older reference to the Hiram name or can identify when it originated.

I remember the name JP being mentioned (probably on this forum). I remember an old quiz, years ago; the answer to the question of Mr. Lodge's first name was Hiram, but it also said "Burton also accepted".

  I think the full name for Moose might be a 100% invention for this title

I remember a discussion on this forum a while ago when Marmaduke was listed as his first name in a Wikipedia article, and no one could confirm it by citing a comic. Therefore, either the name existed in the comics already and was then mentioned on Wiki, or the writer of Life With Archie copied the info from Wiki or this forum and made it official.

I'm pretty sure Marmaduke was mentioned in a comic somewhere (likely around when Moose was first introduced), but I'm not sure where the Merton name came from. Some sources are also saying that Moose's last name was Mcgee at one point, but I've never seen him referred to by that name.

I think I had heard Marmaduke before as well but don't recall when.  My problem is I've been reading Archie's too long.  The writers have ocassionally used a different name for the secondary characters but unless you've noted where, it can be really difficult locating the story.  Especially since the digests might correct the usage.
