"A Matter of Degree"

Betty and Veronica dress up as guys to see if that attracts Jughead. And that is the premise of this story.

In Honor of the Live action Archie movie announcement here’s a throwback to when Archie comics officially fancasted an Archie movie in an 2010 issue of Archie

Honestly see the vision with some of these

From Ssssh, Betty and Me #9 (1967).

Laugh #166 (the famous Beatles/bugs cover issue), facsimile reprint, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band variant cover by Matt Talbot

I love how Talbot swapped Marlene Dietrich with Reggie and Diana Dors with Cheryl.

Wait, what? We're limited to 30 tags? This is wholy unsufficient.

And for those who prefer their facsimile reprints to actually feature the original cover, fear not:

Only the price has changed.

Laugh Comics #166, January 1965, cover by Harry Lucey (pencils) and Mario Acquaviva (inks)

My Top 20 Archie Women For International Women’s Day

20. Ms. Beazley

She is very funny

19. Polly Cooper

She gives me lesbian vibes

18. January McAndrews

I have, admittedly, not read a lot of her but I luv her

17. Della

Fucking icon

16. Ms. Grundy

Another one I feel bad for putting low. But there are others I simply like more

15. Ethel Muggs

She is very cute and also very funny

14. Ginger Lopez

RAHHHHHHH I love her when she’s allowed to have her own personality rather than being Cheryl 2.0

13. Nancy Woods

Awwwwww my baby <3 She looks so cute here <3

12. Alexandra Cabot

She used to annoy me a lil bit but she’s grown on me a lot

11. Toni Topaz

She’s that one post abt how being hungry makes you bisexual

10. Midge Klump

No you don’t understand I literally love her so much. I hope her ugly boyfriend dies

9. Josie McCoy

Thinks Caesar could’ve gone farther/ref

8. Melody Valentine

One of my fave examples of the bimbo trope. AND she’s bisexual. She’s amazing

7. Zelda Spellman and 6. Hilda Spellman

I struggled to find separate images of them

5. Valerie Smith

I do NOT play abt her and I completely understand why Archie was willing to dump both his girlfriends for her

4. Cheryl Blossom

Cherry Blossom <333 My favorite mean lesbian <333

3. Veronica Lodge

It feels kinda criminal not having her and Betty back to back but my top 3 are a little bit interchangeable so. Idk man she’s one of The Characters ever created. Read Vampironica rn

2. Sabrina Spellman

Would have taken the top spot if I hadn’t developed an abrupt attachment to Miss Betty Cooper. I have sm nostalgia for her. She’s literally me

Betty Cooper🌱

Ya’ll already knew she’d be in first place. She may be Archie’s second choice but she will always be my first. The REAL main character, the people’s princess. I would sell my soul for her

Anyways. All of these ladies mean a lot to me and there are others I probably would have included if this was a longer list. To me the women have always been the main appeal of Archie Comics, I love how diverse and interesting they are despite the simplistic nature of the series. There’s sm you can do with all of them writing-wise. It’s also been refreshing to be part of a fandom where the female characters and wlw ships get the most focus despite it being a split cast. I love girls. That’s all, okay bye
