Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Oldiesmann: I miss the days of floppies with there or four new stories each. I'll take that over digests any day

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

I was always a fan of the Archies even though their music gets dismissed as bubblegum. I know they were really a project of Don Kirshner using session musicians and songwriting by artists like Andy Kim. One of my favorite songs was "Jingle Jangle" which had, as always, Ron Dante, doing the male lead vocal as well as Toni Wine doing the female co-lead vocal. In the comics and cartoon, it was always Archie shown doing lead and I remember seeing Jughead "singing" the bass part in "Rock And Roll Music". But I don't recall ever seeing Betty or Veronica doing any singing. I wonder if there was ever a story showing one of them doing the singing in 'Jingle Jangle" and which of the girls would be doing that part. My guess is it would be Betty because it remember reading a story that said Veronica couldn't sing. Plus, she was always shown playing keyboards whereas Betty was mostly shown playing tambourine. Has there been a story written showing which girl does the singing parts in the Archies? Thanks!
