pardon my lunch muscle tussle

Sure. Every boy needs to be involved in athletics. Gender preogative. On this score, nothing wrong with the ping pong team -- strengthens hand - eye coordination.

The forced arm twisting is apparently too much for the Little versions of the characters. Though, I guess the change is as important for how the story veers off, or perhaps merges into different Archie story elements. Little Jughead knocks out the star wrestler Fangs, leading Coach Kleats to think he's a great wrestler. On the mainline early 50s story, Coach Kleats just has Jughead on the boxing team because they need someone there -- against his will it ought be pointed out -- then thinks up a nonsensical ploy to psyche out the opposition -- who aren't around the school so how would they ever know anyways? The Little Archie version has Coach Kleats in a different illusion.

The wrestling ring for Riverdale Elementary School is insane. Funny thing, the mainline version does end with Jughead losing, getting knocked out, while Little Jughead accidentally wins through gimmickry.

I see little evidence of Riverdale High having a boxing program after the 1970s -- except off of my head one single page. It seems weird that there were a few boxing stories even in the 1970s. As for wrestling, the depiction here bares no relationship to scholastic wrestling programs -- lot of grappling toward the ground, and moves more into what developed for "sports entertainment" or mixed martial arts.

Notewothy in figuring out Dexter Taylor's approach is that the two stories do end on the same note and scene, kind of forced back to the same dialogue and punchline. Hellbent on keeping the end with the beginning, all details in the middle had to be changed -- because we aren't going to have the girls physically drag him in, Jughead tied up with a crude jock with a baseball bat hovering over him, boxing, or Jughead losing a match. It is interesting that Jughead's chilly detached dialogue and attitude could be interchanged still.

Sorry Sonamy shippers

I refuse to believe Amy wasn’t raised in a circus or carnival environment.

The giant hammer, the tarrot cards...it all fits.

Why yes this is irrelevant to the ship, I just saw some headcanons related to ship I disliked

      A portion of me is considering surrendering the effort, but for the sake of straight-forwardly asking every time,       @kindredconfectionery @turntable-fort @psyche-out @sibylatrist @two-times-polydeuces @geoselenique @semperignis        Like all the others, you're invited to suggest a show or movie to watch, a song to listen to, or another friend of yours that I should follow and why, etc.
