Actually, it's just Archie. It's not short for Archibald.

In related news, the Queen has cancelled the palace's Netflix subscription.

That is interesting. I assumed they'd be formal, so I posted it that way. Incredible. "Archie".... 🤔😌😏

Archie is (or was, at one time) not an uncommon name in England. England had its own long-running (1957-1983) Archie comic character in the form of ROBOT ARCHIE.

This particular splash page was from issue #3, in case you're wondering.
