Title: List of Known Birthdays?
Post by: Tytalus on May 01, 2018, 03:16:51 PM
Hi All,

I'm trying to hunt around for known birthdays for any Archie/Sabrina comic character. Does anyone know of a compiled list?  I found something several months ago that I can't find again that Archie is born sometime in February?


Otherwise, it's a one by one search about 4 or 5 various sites.

Sometimes there can be conflicts (which is fine) like Sabrina The Teenage Witch vs Sabrina the Comic Character:

http://sabrinatheteenagewitch.wikia.com/wiki/Sabrina_Spellman has March 29,
https://comicvine.gamespot.com/sabrina-spellman/4005-1722/ has Sept. 27

The Sabrina Wikia goes into detail in trying to determine her birthday (four different dates are listed!), and it concludes it's on September 2 based on the start of the school year in that area in 1996. (The Sabrina live-action series is horribly inconsistent in general, such as having Sabrina being unfamiliar with Salem, MA, in season 1 but later establishing it as her home town.)

I got this list from somewhere back in early 2010 (it's listed as the date followed by the character):

February 7

Jughead

March 19

Veronica

March 30

Geraldine Grundy

April 5

Waldo Weatherbee

April 7

Benjamin Flutesnoot

April 27

Hiram Lodge

May 3

Nancy

May 8

Hermione Lodge

June 8

Chuck

June 10

Fred Andrews

June 21

Mr. Svenson

June 29

Betty

July 4

Midge

July 20

Moose

July 25

Reggie

August 18

Terry "Pop" Tate

September 1

Ms. Beazly

September 21

Dilton

December 3

Mary Andrews

December 7

Archie

Thanks for sharing this. Is there a link to the sources? I'm curious how this was derived. I'm also curious about the competing plausible theories for different dates.

I don't know where I got it from. It's currently in a text file on my hard drive. I'm guessing I got them off the official Archie Comics site back then. They'd changed it a lot over the years, so it's possible that these birthdays were listed in individual character profiles or even on a page that no longer exists.

Well fair enough, thanks again for sharing! :)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that these birthdays came from character profiles on the official Archie site. I just looked at an old file on my hard drive, and I'd noted this:
