All I can say is, Carl Jung would have made considerable hay out of Archie comics. He would damn near have wept golden tears over Betty and Veronica.

Well hello there

"The introduction of Kevin is just about keeping the world of Archie Comics current and inclusive. Archie's hometown of Riverdale has always been a safe world for everyone. It just makes sense to have an openly gay character in Archie comic books," Archie Comics honcho Jon Goldwater said in announcing the news.In an interview , Parent said that the comic is striving for more diversity and that the new character, a "burgeoning journalist" named Kevin Keller, reportedly will appear in Veronica Comics (#202) in September, in an issue titled "Isn't It Bromantic?" (To see character art of Kevin, you can check the blog "Robot 6.")"Veronica's got the hots for this guy and can't understand why he's not interested in her ... and, uh, he's gay," Parent says in the interview.

The operative word here is "openly". Click on the link for an article from last August with a cartoon of Veronica, Archie, and Betty, three straws, and a malt. (This image will appear on a postage stamp in July.) Now notice that Betty, with hearts over her head, is clearly looking at Veronica and not at Archie.Posted by: GordonCash | April 22, 2010 3:24 PM | I think you're dreaming, GordonCash--Betty's eyes are clearly on Archie. Try Betty's pose yourself--you won't be looking in Veronica's direction, cute as she is.Posted by: TM12 | April 22, 2010 3:34 PM

What Simpsons edisode has the Archie gang throwing Homer out of the Jalopy and saying "Stay out of Riverdale!"? Anyway, I just remember in the commentary them saying that they didn't license that at all.

"duh stay out of riverdale" never fails to crack me up. apparently it was the episode where Sideshow Bob runs for mayor.

it actually is rather amazing that "Archie" has yet to receive the live action, blockbuster film treatment yet. only a matter of time i'm sure.

not a "blockbuster" but certainly "live action":

Ok I just bought the KEVIN KELLER miniseries #1 (actually Veronica #207). I haven't read it yet but –––––– I am worried Kevin will run into the Christian Archie series Archie. Like Kevin is trying out for the football team and Jughead tries to introduce him to the Gospel of John like he was ALWAYS doing in Christian Archie. And where it goes from there is too sad to say!What I am saying is Archie has one world that is full of fundamentalist xtian teens and another where Kevin is getting married, which gets rid of Riverdale's "Anytown U.S.A." vibe, doesn't it?This is fucking with me in the best way!

The first half has Kevin's gal pal from Bricktown explaining her one-time crush on a prepubescent Kevin. This sequence is weird because it has concerns about prom, etc, when the timeline suggests this flashback takes place in elementary school. Maybe sixth grade at the latest?
The second half is also a flashback in which Kevin recalls coming out to his parents. His dad, the colonel, is proud of his son and encourages Kevin to follow in his footsteps by entering the military. Either he came out on July 4 or Bricktown just likes to party, because fireworks are going off in the background, with a big American flag at the fore.
