DeCarlo Rules: Seriously, considering that ACP doesn't have a huge output of titles to begin with, the number of things they solicit and then cancel, never to be seen, is just ridiculous.

Hanna Barbera Montana: Count the facsimile for ARCHIE'S PAL JUGHEAD #78 as an imaginary comic.

DeCarlo Rules: If it means getting some new Jughead stories in those digests, I'd forgive them for making Archie's name bigger.

DeCarlo Rules: Oh yeah I forgot that when Milestones was "Best of the Decade" for a year, it DID have a new story in each of the five issues -- and so did the Jughead issue (#18) which followed... then they stopped doing them again.

Nov 12 2024 4:30pm
DeCarlo Rules: Jughead needs new stories. Milestones was cancelled for year, then they revived it for a year as "Best of Decade", but since #18 it's been all-Jughead. It's time to drop the Archie Milestones masthead and get some new stories in there.

Tuxedo Mark: Milestones and Showcase are catch-all reprint-only digests that come out 5 times per year, opposed to the other four digest titles that come out 10 times per year and (usually) have 1 new story each.

Sliding timeline

Tuxedo Mark

This is a yearly post that I've made since 2008. It was very short at first but has since grown into a monster. Basically, it's a long list of what the Archie characters experienced (and didn't experience) throughout their lives, the idea being their dates of birth are advanced by one year every year, since they never graduate from high school.

I typically post the updated list on the day that the senior class graduates from my old high school (I tend to think of the timeline "sliding" or "adjusting" around graduation time, throwing the gang back to the summer before senior year). I'll repost the list that I posted last May here (which covers the current version of the gang, who would graduate in a few months as part of the Class of 2016). This'll give you something to read until the revised list (in which the gang is part of the Class of 2017) is posted in May.


Introduction:

For the past few years, I have done a sliding timeline post. Archie Comics seems to keep the main characters at around the same age (it varies here and there), so, logically, each year, the characters' birthdates are advanced by one year.

Since the senior class at my old high school graduated today, it seems the school year is over, so it's time for a lovely refresh.

According to Wikipedia, there are 3 people born in 1899 verified to still be alive:

The oldest living former U.S. President was born on June 12, 1924. The current Pope was born on December 17, 1936.

Taking into account only the people that are still alive today, there were 3 people in the world at the end of the 1800s, there were 7 people at the end of the 19th century, the oldest person at the end of the 1900s was 10, 1910s: 20, 1920s: 30, 1930s: 40, 1940s: 50, 1950s: 60, 1960s: 70, 1970s: 80, 1980s: 90, 1990s: 100, and 2000s: 110.

Needless to say, it'll be a while before we have to say the original Betty, Archie, and Jughead, introduced in Pep #22 in 1941, are dead.

For the purpose of this post, I make the assumption that the characters are graduating next year, aged 18 years old, so they were born in 1997 [NOTE: This was a typo. I meant 1998.]. I also assume the summer stories that we see in the comics occur during the summer before senior year (there are at least two comic stories that establish this), and the school-year stories occur during senior year (at least one 1970s story establishes this). I know there's at least one story where they're explicitly high school juniors, and that's the position of the official Archie Comics site (in their character profiles), so, if anything, the assumptions in this post are too conservative.

What this post attempts to do is try to figure out the characters' perspective and frame of reference for viewing the world. This can also be useful for the Archie Comics writers when writing new stories.

As we enter a new cycle of Archie Comics stories, 1997 is lost; the characters never experienced it. Of course, I'm aware that people can become aware of things (music, movies, television series, video games, books, etc.) that came out before they were born, but they weren't there "as it happened", and thus these things hold no nostalgic value to them. Also, keep in mind that people generally don't remember things before the age of two (in this case, 2000).

In addition to updating the information, I have sorted it into rough chronological order as the characters would have experienced them (or, in the cases of pre-birth events, wouldn't have experienced them).

Besties with benefits is totally a thing.

Betty is more likely to share her problems on Facebook, LiveJournal, Tumblr, and YouTube, rather than writing them down in a diary. Privacy? What's that? If she does keep a diary, it'd likely be on a flash drive, not in a book.

DeCarlo Rules

Oldiesmann, please do something about this imposter.




Thanks again to Oldiesmann for changing "DeCarlo Rules" to chancebond or Archiver123 as s/he's now calling him/herself.

Tuxedo Mark

Introduction:

For the past few years, I have done a sliding timeline post. Archie Comics seems to keep the main characters at around the same age (it varies here and there), so, logically, each year, the characters' birthdates are advanced by one year.

Since the senior class at my old high school graduated today, it seems the school year is over, so it's time for a lovely refresh.

According to Wikipedia, there is 1 person born in 1899 verified to still be alive:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_living_people

The oldest living former U.S. President was born on June 12, 1924. The current Pope was born on December 17, 1936.

Taking into account only the people that are still alive today, there was 1 person in the world at the end of the 1800s, there were 3 people at the end of the 19th century, the oldest person at the end of the 1900s was 10, 1910s: 20, 1920s: 30, 1930s: 40, 1940s: 50, 1950s: 60, 1960s: 70, 1970s: 80, 1980s: 90, 1990s: 100, and 2000s: 110.

Needless to say, it'll be a while before we have to say the original Betty, Archie, and Jughead, introduced in Pep #22 in 1941, are dead.

For the purpose of this post, I make the assumption that the characters are graduating next year, aged 18 years old, so they were born in 1999. I also assume the summer stories that we see in the comics occur during the summer before senior year (there are at least two comic stories that establish this), and the school-year stories occur during senior year (at least one 1970s story establishes this). I know there's at least one story where they're explicitly high school juniors, and that's the position of the official Archie Comics site (in their character profiles), so, if anything, the assumptions in this post are too conservative.

What this post attempts to do is try to figure out the characters' perspective and frame of reference for viewing the world. This can also be useful for the Archie Comics writers when writing new stories.

As we enter a new cycle of Archie Comics stories, another shift occurs, and 1998 is lost; the characters never experienced it. Of course, I'm aware that people can become aware of things (music, movies, television series, video games, books, etc.) that came out before they were born, but they weren't there "as it happened", and thus these things hold no nostalgic value to them. Also, keep in mind that people generally don't remember things before the age of two (in this case, 2001).

In addition to updating the information, I have sorted it into rough chronological order as the characters would have experienced them (or, in the cases of pre-birth events, wouldn't have experienced them).

Education:

The Columbine High School massacre occurred in the year of their birth.

No Child Left Behind went into effect before they entered kindergarten. Major parts of it were repealed when they were in eleventh grade (junior year).

They have attended school entirely in the 21st century.

They attended elementary school (grades K-5) from 2004 to 2010.

The Virginia Tech massacre occurred when they were in second grade.

They attended junior high / middle school (grades 6-8) from 2010 to 2013.

Skylar Neese was murdered by Sheila Eddy and Rachel Shoaf during their summer vacation between seventh and eighth grades.

The Sandy Hook massacre occurred when they were in eighth grade (junior high).

They started high school in 2013.

They were in tenth grade (sophomore year) when junior Maren Sanchez was murdered at school by Chris Plaskon.

There is likely a gay-straight alliance at their school.

They were in eleventh grade (junior year) when sophomore Dorothy Dutiel murdered her girlfriend, sophomore May Kieu, at school and then killed herself.

There are likely transgender students at their school.

The freshmen and sophomores in their school were born in the 21st century.

It's always been Russia, not the Soviet Union.

Poland has always been a republic.

A standard comic book from DC or Marvel has never cost less than $1.95.

Family:

Most of their parents likely went to high school in the late 1980s and/or early 1990s. At the youngest, while conceiving as adults, they would have been born in 1980 and graduated high school in 1998.

Polly Cooper likely went to high school in the mid-2000s.

Tuxedo Mark

Introduction:

For the past few years, I have done a sliding timeline post. Archie Comics seems to keep the main characters at around the same age (it varies here and there), so, logically, each year, the characters' birth dates are advanced by one year.

Usually, I post the new timeline on the night that the senior class at my old high school graduates, but I've decided to post it earlier this year, because I've decided to shift the timeline to the "Riverdale" universe. This timeline is the last one to deal with the comics (a transitional timeline), and the next one will be aligned to the "Riverdale" universe, since it seems "Riverdale" is currently the "true" Archieverse (at least, as far as exposure is concerned).

According to Wikipedia, there is 1 person born in 1899 verified to still be alive:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oldest_living_people

The oldest living former U.S. President was born on June 12, 1924. The current Pope was born on December 17, 1936.

Taking into account only the people that are still alive today, there was 1 person in the world at the end of the 1800s, there were 3 people at the end of the 19th century, the oldest person at the end of the 1900s was 10, 1910s: 20, 1920s: 30, 1930s: 40, 1940s: 50, 1950s: 60, 1960s: 70, 1970s: 80, 1980s: 90, 1990s: 100, and 2000s: 110.

Needless to say, it'll be a while before we have to say the original Betty, Archie, and Jughead, introduced in Pep #22 in 1941, are dead.

For the purpose of this post, I make the assumption that the characters are graduating next year, aged 18 years old, so they were born in 2000. I also assume the summer stories that we see in the comics occur during the summer before senior year (there are at least two comic stories that establish this), and the school-year stories occur during senior year (at least one 1970s story establishes this). I know there's at least one story where they're explicitly high school juniors, and that's the position of the official Archie Comics site (in their character profiles), so, if anything, the assumptions in this post are too conservative.

What this post attempts to do is try to figure out the characters' perspective and frame of reference for viewing the world. This can also be useful for the Archie Comics writers when writing new stories.

As we enter a new cycle of Archie Comics stories, another shift occurs, and 1999 is lost; the characters never experienced it. Of course, I'm aware that people can become aware of things (music, movies, television series, video games, books, etc.) that came out before they were born, but they weren't there "as it happened", and thus these things hold no nostalgic value to them. Also, keep in mind that people generally don't remember things before the age of two (in this case, 2002).

In addition to updating the information, I have sorted it into rough chronological order as the characters would have experienced them (or, in the cases of pre-birth events, wouldn't have experienced them).

Archie Universe Sliding Timeline

#8 - Post-"Riverdale" Edition

Introduction:

Since 2011, I have done a sliding timeline post. Archie Comics seems to keep the main characters at around the same age (it varies here and there), so, logically, each year, the characters' birth dates are advanced by one year.

This was my original plan: until this point, I had been working under the assumption that the characters would be seniors in the upcoming school year. However, with this timeline, I had decided to shift to the "Riverdale" universe, where the characters start out as sophomores. "Riverdale", for better or worse, is currently the "true" Archieverse - at least, as far as exposure and public perception are concerned. However, I scrapped those plans once I noticed season 1 occurred early in the 2016-2017 school year (despite airing in the second half of it). Since season 2 (airing in the 2017-2018 season) picked up immediately after the end of season 1 (circa October of 2016), this raises questions of whether "Riverdale" will progress in real time or not. Therefore, this timeline moves past "Riverdale" (while acknowledging its events) and continues to follow the comics, which are assumed to occur during senior year.

What this post attempts to do is try to figure out the characters' perspective and frame of reference for viewing the world. This can also be useful for the writers when writing new stories. Of course, I'm aware that people can become aware of things (music, movies, television series, video games, books, etc.) that came out before they were born, but they weren't there "as it happened", and thus these things hold no nostalgic value to them. Also, keep in mind that people generally don't remember things before the age of two (in this case, 2003).

I am assuming 1) the characters were born in 2001 and 2) will graduate from high school in 2019 at the age of 18.

In addition to updating the information, I have sorted it into rough chronological order as the characters would have experienced them (or, in the cases of pre-birth events, wouldn't have experienced them).

For this edition, in which the characters are true millennials (born, and possibly conceived, in the 21st century), I have re-organized the information, presenting everything, regardless of topic, in a series of lists according to school year and, prior to that, calendar year. The category (Education, World Event, Technology, Music, Film, TV, etc.) will be noted before the items. Also, I have deleted pre-birth items from before 1996 to eliminate the clutter.

Not everything from the previous timeline has been added to this timeline, mostly due to a lack of time on my part (even though I usually post the timeline at the beginning of summer, I'm posting it at the end of summer this year, and it still wasn't enough time). I hope to add it in next year's timeline.

Happy reading! If anyone has any suggestions for improvements, please let me know!

ASS-P

...I'd like to say some things started off by this amazing! :D  work of effort.
  I do assume that you're, in oart, looking through your own past here :smitten: . I'm SURE! I'm the oldest regular of any sort here - I'm 58 :coolsmiley: . Perhaps you're early-mud 30s? Younger? The concept of this does post reminds me of that " Beloit Guide " (or whatever it's called) that appears in the media every year, which talks about what the stsndsrd-aged (17-18) were born after/before/experienced in their childhood. I:m sure you've encounty it too.
  I'll stop this kickoff comment here, I'm on a lil' phone now - and am once again in a hospital bed :o ! (Anyway, they got wi-fi :smiley6600: .) I hope you'll have something to say.

Yes, my post was indeed inspired by the Beloit College Mindset List, but I've gone far beyond it, trying to pin down a day-by-day series of events that the gang would have experienced.
By the way, I'm 40.

DeCarlo Rules

That is a lot of typing. "And a time to every purpose under heaven."

I guess it must help to be a big fan of sliding timelines. Unless any of those things were actually referenced in a story somewhere, it's all just contextual window-dressing to me. In fact, I think a list of the actual contemporaneous cultural references made in Archie stories would seem a lot more interesting, but that's just me.

In contrast, I was just reflecting on Marvel's characters Captain America (and Bucky), Human Torch (the original android one), and Sub-Mariner. Those are some of my favorite characters at Marvel, in large part because their histories from the 1940s haven't changed (continuity implants/untold tales aside) in the 80 years of Marvel's publishing history. They're still referencing things that happened to them during WWII. I guess when they revived those characters in the 1960s they could have just said they were 20 or 25 years older than all the newer superheroes, and kept that gap sliding forward, but I doubt if I'd have liked those characters as much if they had. INVADERS #1 (2019) came out this week (written by Chip "Jughead" Zdarsky, coincidentally) -- the first salvo in Marvel's 80th Anniversary celebration. It made me go back and read some of the old Golden Age issues of Marvel Mystery Comics. Well, the Marvel Masterworks reprint collections, anyway. I wish DC would bring back the Justice Society.
