A year ago, I had this thought that maybe Archie Comics should have just gone ahead and thrown in the towel and called it a day back at about the time Dan Decarlo died.\u00c2\u00a0 This thought came with the publicity that swirled around their story where Archie married Veronica — sometime in the not-too-distant future, naturally.\u00c2\u00a0 My thought had nothing to do with the story or the stunt of the story, but because of the art that came with the story.\u00c2\u00a0 Stan Goldberg is by now a legacy cartoonist for Archie.\u00c2\u00a0 He was competent through his long career.\u00c2\u00a0 Now he’s bad.\u00c2\u00a0 And it’s what they showed\u00c2\u00a0for their\u00c2\u00a0broader public.<\/p>\n
Moving on would be good, because comic book industry\u00c2\u00a0would continue the posthumous honoring of\u00c2\u00a0Dan Decarlo and move on to publish everything else he’s done<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0(Is there a Homer the Happy Ghost collection <\/a>coming soon?)\u00c2\u00a0, a scattering of fans in the know can celebrate\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0take a gander at the creativity in the\u00c2\u00a0work of Samm Schwartz<\/a>, and people can upload comics with “WTF?”<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0subtexts <\/a>\u00c2\u00a0that elicit the easily answered “Wait.\u00c2\u00a0 Who\u00c2\u00a0wrote this stuff?” — it stands to reason that if it’s anything that you want to post online, it was written by Frank Doyle.<\/p>\n Today, I have to wonder what do I make of this <\/a>?\u00c2\u00a0 I like the non-chalance of the cartoonist being interviewed, but really there is a feeling of a stunt at work here.<\/p>\n A gay character arrives in Riverdale.\u00c2\u00a0 Everybody knows that he’s gay except for Veronica.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently, as the page here shows,\u00c2\u00a0Jughead’s not going to tell Veronica just for the laughs of watching her wonder why or why is this guy not interested in her advancements?<\/p>\n Huh.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Will this play in Peyoria?\u00c2\u00a0 For hints to that question, we can ask — Is this commenter from Peyoria?<\/p>\n The gay lobby at work trying to plug their agenda anywhere, what’s next?, a gay Batman?, ridiculous. And now that they’ve successfully\u00c2\u00a0gotten a gay character into anachronistic Riverdale, I’m sure the Gay Lobby can call it a day.<\/p>\n The better question might be — the\u00c2\u00a0 Evangelistic Christian Archie characters from the alternative universe of Spire Comics — as created by Al Hartley <\/a>— how are they going to handle this gay guy?\u00c2\u00a0 Will they successfully get him to an Exodus Therapy Conference <\/a>to kick the gay out of him so he will find the salvation of Jesus Christ?\u00c2\u00a0 Peyoria might be fine.\u00c2\u00a0 And Riverdale-1 might be tolerant of the gays. I\u00c2\u00a0have to worry about about Riverdale-2.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A year ago, I had this thought that maybe Archie Comics should have just gone ahead and thrown in the towel and called it a day back at about the time Dan Decarlo died.\u00c2\u00a0 This thought came with the publicity that swirled around their story where Archie married Veronica — sometime in the not-too-distant future, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5930","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5930"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5930\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5932,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5930\/revisions\/5932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5930"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.struat.com\/election\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
