Body wash is so much better than soap in the shower!  Where has it been all of my life?! It's so liquidy and foamy from the get go! Can't go back to the soap bar anymore, no sir!! 

Body wash IS soap. Soap that hasn't been dehydrated and pressed into little compact bricks. So, for that matter, is dishwashing liquid. Okay, so maybe you just shove the dirty dishes into the dishwasher, and never really think about it, but you must have washed your hands in a public restroom before, so you know they make liquid soap, right? And yet you never noticed it was "liquidy and foamy from the get go"??

Just put a whole bar of soap into a into a large coffee mug and fill the mug halfway with boiling water, and wait a little while. You'll have "body wash" in no time. It's not rocket science, Sagg.

Yeah, and that's what you do with those little slivers of bar soap that are too small to be useful as is. Just save up a bunch of them and liquify them by soaking them in a little water.

Of course body wash is soap, DR, but I'm attempting to be facetiously funny because I'm in a goofy mood at the moment--and body wash is cool.  Besides, haven't you heard of this thing called humor? No offense, really, but sometimes to me you come off as being a tad too serious. Reminds me of Heath Ledger's Joker character: "Why are you so serious?"    Chill.

Body wash is so much better than soap in the shower!  Where has it been all of my life?! It's so liquidy and foamy from the get go! Can't go back to the soap bar anymore, no sir!! 

It's some more stuff just submitted, I say! More! More! BWAH-HA-HA!    Hope there's no duplicates. Enjoy!

Future Quest #6 came out today, and look who did one of the covers! Dan Parent!:

Pretty cool, I thought. It's really interesting when I see a current (or unfortunately former) Archie artist doing something else outside of Archie itself....

My name is Scott and I am 40 years old and been an Archie Comics reader since my early teen years. My favorite character is Jughead as I love his carefree attitude.

Hello, and welcome! 

And again I flipped out! Should I stop submitting some Archie stuff? I think NOT!! 


P.S.: Got some Sabrina stuff in there... 

How about that? I flipped out again, and added some more Archie gems to my gallery! Enjoy! 

I recall a story where Ronica took a picture of Betty when Betty had just gotten out of bed and gave it to Archie, who was going out on a date with Betty. Archie was angry with Ronica and refused to think badly of Betty. In retaliation, Ronica found her muscular and handsome cousin to go to Betty's to woo her from Archie. Archie, who had been waiting in front of Betty's for their date, show the picture of Betty to Ronica's cousin, who promptly ran for his life. An amused Archie then shouted out something to Ronica, who had been hiding behind a tree near Betty's house that rubbed salt into an incensed Ronica's wound. I wish I knew where that story was....

APP  could certainly reprint "new"  old stories with this estimated number. The only exception could be the racially offensive early stories...

Whelp, I snapped again. More stuff in my gallery. Hope there's no duplicates. If so somebody let me know. Enjoy...

Another Jughead relative.

Too bad the TV remote wasn't invented yet...

From the new lead story in the latest ARCHIE DOUBLE DIGEST (#272), entitled "Giving Up the Ghost", Veronica's great uncle Jacob Lodge is mentioned, and a wing of the Lodge mansion had been closed off because Jacob is said to have been the victim of a grisly murder that was never solved. In the story, Veronica has re-opened the disused wing of the mansion to host a Halloween haunted house for underprivileged kids, and a party for her friends.

Yeah that was a pretty good story, I thought. Are the Kennedy brothers still doing new stories in the digests, or is it just Parent now (or anybody else)?

Thanks for letting me know that. I didn't have the other books you mentioned, but glad I didn't pay a lot for it. I remember a short time ago they took some of the 400 page books & reprinted them in the 1000 page books. I usually buy the 1000 pagers, but had seen the 400's in the store. All the same stories, page for page. The plates for the comics didn't have time to cool. Now THAT is recycling! You are right, they need to dig a little deeper in the last 75 years for some different stories. I'd LOVE to see them reprint that classic story where it turns out to be Betty as a mysterious kissing bandit, who is kissing everyone. Boys & girls. Now THAT is a page turner. They could reprint any of those stories from the late 50's to late 60's for me any day.

Let the buyer beware. ACP will print the same stories over and over again, once in the regular digests, once in the 1000-Page Comics or Giant Comics digests, and now going in the reverse direction, from the 400+ page "Best of Archie Comics" and "Archie's Favorite Comics" trade paperbacks, back to the standard digest format. There seems to be an implicit assumption that there's no overlap in consumers between the different formats, and/or that readers are too young (or too stupid) to notice or care. It's pure laziness and greed on the part of the publisher, in trying to milk every single ounce of work that comes out of the editorial and production department multiple times.

In fact, because of this latest 75th Anniversary Celebration digest scam, I am just about ready to let all my digest subscriptions run out. I will probably just continue to get the Betty and Veronica, B&V Friends, and Jughead and Archie digests by ordering them through my local comic store, and simply browsing individual issues of the remaining titles at Barnes and Noble or Walmart to see if there's anything worthwhile in them to make them worth buying.

Out of curiosity DR (not that I'm disagreeing with you, which I'm not), what do you think ACP should release? Perhaps long-lost stories they haven't printed in years? Surely it seems ACP can do these? What, there are over, say 20,000 stories?

And if you think that's something, check out the very next entry! 

Added a few more entries in my gallery. Enjoy...
