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 wish ArchieCo had hired you to draw the New Riverdale comics. Those are all just great!

DeCarlo Rules,


THANKS! *blush*
Tell the folks at Archie Comics that!
I'd LOVE to work on their comics.
Maybe if enough fans tell them they want me to draw Archie comics titles, it may actually happen.
*fingers crossed*

Sadly, they don't seem to want to be known as that company that publishes "COMICAL comics" any more...  :'(  :'(  :'(
... which, to me, is the only thing they really HAD going for them. They want to be taken "seriously" now. Yeesh.

I'm certain, if enough fans voiced their opinions, they would listen.  Publishers want to sell comics. If fans don't like what they're doing, the fans should say so in their letters, fan mail and with their money(and lack of buying). The publishers WILL listen.

I wouldn't be TOO certain about that. I made the observation in a post not too long ago that while reading some of the older digests from 5-10 years ago, they had all sorts of pages in there, whether it be "Dear Betty & Veronica" or "Fan Art" or "Find Your Name In Print", or just a page with an email address to write to the digest editor. I can't find ANYTHING like that in the digests now (and I don't think I've even seen anything like that in the current floppy comics, either... which seems all the more puzzling, since they're obviously aimed at an older readership that would be likely to comment on the stories, not ask for dating advice). They're not only NOT encouraging people to write in with their comments, but I couldn't find an address to write to the editor printed anywhere in the digests (and while I'm not 100% sure about the regular-format comics, I don't recall seeing anything there either, though I didn't look as hard). Maybe it really doesn't matter anyway, as the vocal fans only make up a tiny percentage of the actual readers, at least as far as the traditional Archie Comics go.
