What is going on at Archie Comics? I mean, when did they decide to just throw down the gauntlet of progressiveness in comics?
Having already romanced in Archie’s mainline books, it appears the alternate future Life With Archie series will feature a storyline about Archie and Josie and the Pussycats’ Valerie getting married. [USA Today]*******************
I don’t know, but HOW FUCKING AWESOME IS IT?Seriously, that Archie, ARCHIE, would be blowing the big companies away with a progressive message the way they have been is nothing less than miraculous. I love them for it.
When the people running Archie were asked if they were worried about controversy (regarding having a gay male lead character in their family-friendly books), they responded in the best possible way. “We don’t care if bigots don’t like our comics.”
Man, you have no idea how often I have to use that line when people raise an stink regarding the stuff in my own comics.
(Archie is awesome.)
ARCHIE.
YOU MAKE ME CRY. IN COMPLETE HAPPINESS.
If there was ANY DOUBT in my mind about this company, it has been washed away!

It took me a while to see why this might be progressive. My first thought was “vanilla and a furry?”
