Archie's preference for Veronica (to the extent that he ever evinces a "preference" for anything or anyone) is just another example of what an awful, boring idiot he is.
I mean, someone like Jughead, or even Reggie...these are characters you can kind of get behind. But Archie is just a nil. He's one of the blandest, dullest characters ever. I just don't understand how he rates "protagonist" status or what the girls see in him (the drawing is hardly flattering, and he's always talking out of the side of his mouth or suddenly screeching to a halt with his feet because he forgot something because he's an idiot).
The only other central character maybe less deserving of that elevated status in a group of more interesting characters is Mickey Mouse. But at least he's got his mischievous side; I'd give it to the mouse over Archie, any day.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Unusually crummy artwork even by Archie Comics' low standards.
Yeah, Betty's no slouch.
She was always my favorite. The voice of reason and she had a think for weird gingers. So I could have had her more than I could get veronica.

You are preaching to the already converted, my friend. I still have scars from all those Bible Arcies.
