The "Screw with Children's Childhood" Project Continues with the Most PC Comic Book in the Known Universe
"Kevin Keller is shown to have followed in his Army father's footsteps – in images released to CNN, readers learn that he served in the military and was injured while serving in Iraq. He meets Dr. Clay Walker while in a hospital’s rehabilitation unit. Clay helps Kevin regain his ability to walk, and the two become friends. But it's not until a chance meeting in an airport that they start dating." -- Wedding bells for Archie Comics' gay character – GeekOut

I'll never think of Jughead the same way.

They have finally ruined childhood.

Let's be honest. It should have been Betty and Ronnie.

I use to love Archie Comics. I thought comics were a means of escape? What the hell happened?
So wrong.

The late Mr. John L. Goldwater -- the creator of Archie -- would puke. (His son, Jon Goldwater, is now the CEO of Archie Comics.) I'm glad he didn't live to see this.

Dr Grey is not a doctor, but a physical therapist. However, it would be considered highly unethical and lead to sanctions including loss of license for a doctor to start a sexual relationship with a patient. I'm thinking that the same would likely apply in this case. So the comic book is not only promoting same-sex marriage, it is promoting illicit sexual relationships between patients and "caregivers," erroneously implanting the notion in the minds of innocent children that such relationships are "OK," and thereby softening them up for the advances of pedophiles and other sexual predators who may be caring for them as health professionals. All you can say is "O tempora! O mores!

Gandalin, do you think the Left has any mores at any time? I doubt Cicero had any idea when he wrote that.

Next issue Pops Tate pulls a Sandusky (Juggie had to pay for those burgers somehow). They should have made Reggie Mantle the poofter in honor of the President's BFF Reggie Love.

Now that you mention it, they do seem to be making eyes at each other behind Archie's back. And Veronica looks a bit...disheveled.

Ah, let's be honest. It would be hard to blame the publisher once you meet the fans who appreciate this stuff. They're not even gay, they're just channeling "straight guilt," and the way they holler when there's so much as a hint of a gay marriage, you'd think the inker matched the talents of every artist with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle named after him, and as an added bonus, cured cancer and AIDS before the ink was dry. Archie just wants in on some of the excitement.
Agree on the comments about Betty & Veronica. You wanna move this stuff off the shelves, or not?
