Hey, I was curious if there have been any canonical confirmations or evidence about the birthdays for some of the Archie characters? This is kinda related to Zodiacs, but hmm.
If anyone doesn't have a headcanon for them? :0
I'm thinking Reggie would be a Leo.
There used to be a page on Archiecomics.com that told you their birthdays but when i went to find it, it was gone or something :/
Archie's birthday is February 4th, as established by no less an authority than the original artist, Bob Montana. He chose that day because that was the date in 1946 on which Archie first made his debut as a daily newspaper strip, which eventually outlasted Montana himself, running in newspapers for 65 years.
I remember they used to have all the characters' birthday and zodiacs on the Archie comics website. I can't remember all of them but I remember Reggie's birthday was June 25. He's a Leo, just like me :P
When Reggie wanted a fake id in Archie. Archie gave him a id with a June birthday. I think that was Archie #5 by Veronica Fish.

Fake ID = fake birthdate, so it could have been anything, not just a different year than his real birthdate.
According to the "How Well Do You Know REGGIE Quiz" reprinted in ARCHIE'S FUNHOUSE DOUBLE DIGEST #25, Reggie's birthday is July 25th. No idea what story is the source of this information.
Judging by the colorful graphic design/layout of this 2-page quiz feature, I'd guess that this had appeared originally in one of those issues of BETTY & VERONICA SPECTACULAR after it was redesigned to look more like a magazine (issues #69-90). All of those issues had some sort of short 1 or 2 page special features - fashions, quizzes, etc.
From my defunct Betty Cooper FAQ:
This information comes from Archie Comics Online as of Saturday, October 23, 1999:
Just as it's hard not to like Archie, it's absolutely impossible not to love Betty. Blue eyed, blonde, perky and beautiful with a personality that's sweeter than honey, Betty is the sort of girl boys can't help but fall madly in love with. A smile from Betty can brighten even the darkest mood and her bubbly, always positive outlook on life makes everyone around her feel like a million dollars.
While Betty isn't perfect, it just seems that she is. Her faith in people is unshakable, and her loyalty to her friends is unbreakable. Betty is many things to many people: a warm, vibrant, fun loving girl who lives for the present but thinks of her future; a tomboy with spunk and a lady with polish; an irrepressible free spirit and a responsible young woman, a dreamer and a realist with a heart that's bigger than all outdoors.
Even though Betty can date any boy she wants, her heart always has and always will belong to Archie. Despite playing second fiddle to her best friend, Veronica, Betty never gives up hope that one day, Archie will come to his senses and see that she is the only girl for him. And while her own little plots and schemes don't always work, Betty finds that what works best for snaring Archie is when she's simply her sweet, loving self.
However, boys do line up at Betty's door to win her affections, most notably a couple of bad guys. Longtime friend and all around creep Reggie Mantle has started to show genuine feelings for Betty while Cheryl Blossom's rotten twin brother Jason is deeply attracted to her. And why not? As the old saying goes, "Blondes have more fun!", and no girl in Riverdale has more fun than Betty.

Name: Betty Cooper
First Appearance: Pep Comics #22 (1941)
Age: 17
Height: 5'6
Weight: 120
Hair: Blonde
Birthday: June 29 (Cancer)
Betty Cooper is the girl next door. She is your average small town girl; blonde hair, blue eyes and very sweet and earnest. She is a cute, practical dresser and is always ready to have fun (especially where Archie is concerned). But in addition to having fun, Betty always finds time to do her studying, and enjoys writing. In addition to her concern for the environment and other social issues, we've established that Betty's goal is to become a famous writer. She is good at sports, can repair cars, is artistic and can make her own clothes. She does well in school, loves children. She has a brother named Chic and a sister named Polly (these characters were introduced in the Little Archie series). She also sings with The Archies band and plays tambourine. Betty is extremely devoted to Archie, but sadly is most often playing second fiddle to her best friend Veronica for his affections. Through every crazy, loving scheme to win Archie's love, Betty always remains completely unaffected, loyal and sweet.
