Via the incredible scans_daily.

If you grew up in the USA, you no doubt read some Archie comics, and recall the eternal rivalry between Betty and Veronica.

As rich girl Veronica seemed not unlike Paris Hilton--albeit lacking a little yippy dogg, but blessed with a few more IQ points--we tended to root for Betty.

Until today.



Here are the original scans.

Now, we can suffer beloved characters promoting a religion with which we do not happen to agree.

We cannot, however, abide Archie and the gang blatantly spreading teh stupid.

Hey, Betty, I'd much rather be related to a monkey than to a idjit.

This is slightly heartening -- according to this Wikipedia entry, these comic's aren't official Archie releases. They were published by Spire Christian Comics:

Most of the Spire Comics were written and drawn by Al Hartley, who was working for Archie Comics at the time. Due to this connection, he was able to get permission to use the Archie characters in many of the comics.

Still...

Ooo, I REALLY want to see the one called "Jughead's Soul Food."

I think Veronica's a lot cuter than Paris, though. ^0^;...

I loved Archie and the gang and that just makes my heart break in a million pieces. I hope what Mytho said was true:(

Damn you god!! Stop fucking up my childhood more then you did!

I'll second that. Way to screw with my childhood icons, organized religion.
