From my childhood, I have been reading Archie comics with love and passion
The vast diversity shown in the various charcters has always amazed me!
The story is set in the town of riverdale where Archie and his friends attend high school. Each story is different in terms of setting, storyline and brings about a sense of curiosity in the reader.
Jughead is Archies best friend.
His main hobbies are just eating and sleeping.
He is always picturised wearing his favourite hat which he never takes off.
He has a lazy dog named Hot Dog which sleeps and eats just like its owner.
Moose is the toughest guy in high school.
But he also acts very dumb.

| ARCHIE AND FRIENDS |
The story is set in the town of riverdale where Archie and his friends attend high school. Each story is different in terms of setting, storyline and brings about a sense of curiosity in the reader.

| FRED ANDREWS |

| MARY ANDREWS |
His best friend is Jughead Jones.
His two main crushes are Veronica Lodge and Betty Cooper, and the three of them together form the perfect love triangle.
BETTY COOPER
Betty can be described as a very sweet fun-loving and humble girl.
Most of the time she is left heart broken by Archie to whom she always plays a second fiddle after Veronica Lodge.
Personally she is my favourite character in the series!!!
She is basically an allrounder, being good in academics(ends up coaching Archie most of the times), sports,cooking and stitching.
VERONICA LODGE
Veronica can be described basically as a rich spoiled brat(very similar to the Veronica in cocktail,without the drinking though).
She is often called jus "Ron" or "Ronnie" by her friends.
Her favourite hobby is simply shopping.
She often accompanies her father on business tours to different countries so that she can can shop for expensive clothes all around the world.
JUGHEAD JONES
His main hobbies are just eating and sleeping.
He is always picturised wearing his favourite hat which he never takes off.
He has a lazy dog named Hot Dog which sleeps and eats just like its owner.
He also has a baby sister whose name is Jellybean.
REGGIE MANTLE
Reggie Mantle can be described as one with lots of ego.
He constantly plays pranks on Archie and Jughead for fun.
He gets thrashed by Moose Mason often for flirting with his girlfriend Midge.
MOOSE MASON
But he also acts very dumb.
DILTON DOILEY
He is the smartest student at Riverdale High.
The other main characters include
MR WEATHERBEE- principle of Riverdale High.
MRS GRUNDY- teacher at Riverdale High
NANCY WOODS,CHUCK CLAYTON,ETHEL MUGGS,MIDGE KLUMP-are other friends
In all the stories, Archie and the gang have alot of misadventures or run into one problem or the other.
But in the end everyone works together to find the perfect solution.
All the stories have a slight sense of humour.
Archie and his friends have also formed a band called "the Archies ".
Stories are also written about little Archie(when Archie and his friends were in elementary school)
But there was also this very disturbing video I found in which the characters in the comic change for the worst.
I just hope that such a thing shown in the following video never happens.
So i would just like to conclude by saying that Archie comics have entertained me till today and hope they will continue to do so in the coming years!!
