...I wonder why there's no Jughead Veronica fan art, it seems like a popular ship? 

From what I've seen online, the Jughead/Betty ship is more popular?

I don't think it's so much more popular that it would have that much more fan art though, I suspect other reasons too.

I did some Jug/Ronnie fan art stuff.

Original Sin posted some fun ones, we had a thread on the old site. There is this on tumblr for the new Archie series.

The page is blank.

This is a thumbnail I saved from one that the artist took down:


The artist is BehindtheVeil at deviantart but I don't know if he or she has an account there anymore.

My friend made me a cute one but I'll have to track down the physical copy since I think I only posted it on the old site.

Here's two more. If I can muster enough courage I might post one I posted on the old site.

Go ahead, even though I'm not a shipper I'm surprised I'm enjoying all these. I think the tv show's fried my shipping instincts and opened me up to new realms just a crack.

Dan Parent has a theory



I can definitely get behind this

NOOOO!!!  I WANT TO READ THE REST OF IT!!!

It was in a Veronica floppy but I sold off my collection, and I don't remember the specific issue but it's reprinted in World of Archie Digest #12, Veronica's Wonderful Life.

If Dan Parent isn't a Jughead/Veronica shipper I'll eat my own shoe.

Jughead is more of an enabler than Betty and Veronica since he tries to help Archie get away with his shenanigans.

In fact I'm almost posting this in the wrong thread.

But, just wondering: Doesn't Betty and Ronica enable Archie to do his dirt by quite frankly overlooking his behavior as they continue to forgive his transgressions? Plus, Ronica cheats as much on Archie as he does her. I've always suspected that Betty would drop any boy she was going with in a New York Second if Archie suddenly asked her to go steady. I think Betty only goes out with other boys because she eventually believes Archie will someday come to his senses and see she's the only girl for him, and then she'll quit them. In the meantime, Betty refuses to be a girl that hopelessly pines for Archie by waiting by the phone while missing out on dating boys. What do you guys think?

I agree about Betty, as for Ronnie, the stories paint her cheating in a bad light much more than than they do Archie's, so he's more of a pain. I mean we obviously are supposed to think of him as the bad guy often, but not nearly as much as with Veronica.

I liked the original title. It was quite apt. 

Yeah, it's hard to think of a good word for this side of Archie that isn't obscene.

I just saw this thread and I'm disappointed I didn't join in the fun sooner.



It shouldn't be too hard to find panels of Archie being a clod.

 

I'm reading The Blue Baron from Sitcomics.

Thanks De! The second one sucks, didn't it happen on the old board too though?

That would work.

So it seems this is going to be a midseason premiere according to the Archie site.


I looked up 'midseason premiere' since I hardly watch tv and found out this means it'll debut early next year, I also found these comments:


Traditionally, having a series get picked up as a mid-season replacement isn't exactly a great show of confidence on behalf of a network. It's the easiest way to get involved with a new show while at the same time undertaking the least possible amount of risk.


As we all know, most American TV programs premiere in the Fall, and any show that isn't launched until the Spring is typically assumed to be a clunker. Most of these shows, deemed "midseason replacements", are intended to just be filler for a few months until the network is ready to roll out their next great series in the next Fall season.


The Midseason Replacement is typically a show network execs don't consider strong enough to premiere at the beginning of a season, but is held in reserve for a premiere later when time slots are needed to be filled after another show has gone belly-up. Since the midseason replacement is considered to be a weaker show than what the network was originally hoping for, expectations often aren't very high.


  I hadn't realized till I read this that a part of me was hoping the show would succeed, but I might as well stop hoping. So that if it does succeed it can be an incredible surprise!

"Every once in a while, however, one of these shows may not only hold its ground, but thrive. Some are not just successful - they're major hits that stand the test of time and make television history."

10 Amazing TV Shows That Began As Mid-Season Replacements:

Hey I admire your looking at the bright side but ten examples out of the hundreds (if not more) of midseason replacements that ever were, there are a few more but not many, we're hoping for a blue moon here. And two shows on that list are animated, they probably don't count because according to one of the sites I quoted delaying animated shows is routine due to production. Like I said a part of me would be happy if Riverdale succeeded but...

When I try to cut and paste something from another site and post it here it gets shrunk to tiny size, sometimes my text seems to shrink for other reasons too. This isn't that important and I know it might be hard to fix so I'm not complaining, I'm just glad to have the board back but I want to know if it's my laptop or something about the site.

It's true. I wish we could have both but classic somewhat discontinuous Archie is way more important.

I see a lot of panels from that story floating around.

You could also try Fernando Ruiz at fernandoruizeverybody.com. I think he charges about $100 for a character which is probably the going rate for most longtime Archie artists. Oh I see BettyReggie already recommended him, well I secnd it.

I'll look at Space Ghost, I think it's on youtube.

Awesome, I'm going to give out a few copies.
