The inclusion of Jellybean as a teenager in The Married Life is kind of important because it's the one thing in there that really tells you exactly when The Married Life is taking place compared to the classic Archie stories: Jellybean is 15 years older, so The Married Life is taking place 15 years after high school.
This is a new one on me. I don't remember a specific number of years ever being nailed down within the story. Maybe it was said in an issue before I started drawing.
I was always told, however, that the Married Life took place some five years or so after the wedding stories. I was always told to draw the characters as if they were in their early to mid twenties. I know we had characters doing things someone at that age might not necessarily be ready to do... such as run for mayor or run a major corporation... but I figured... y'know... It's Archie!
