I loved Archie comics as a kid, and somewhere along the way I managed to give away all of the many, many digests and double digests that my mom and dad let me get from the grocery store check out lines. This collection takes me back to those days. Such great memories.

My #bookstack and #oldfavorite are Archie Comics! As a kid I had boxes and boxes of Archie comics. I'm super excited that my kiddo is obsessed with these comics too. ♥️

1. Riverdale. When I heard that they were going to make a live action Archie show, I thought it would be terrible. I have been proven wrong. Who would have thought that Jughead could be such a great character!
2. Mint chocolate chip
3. Nope
4. More than I should.
5. Work was super busy all week, but I did happen to get in a renaissance fair food themed video from the Kamikaze Fireflies. Check them out. They are a lot of fun.

Riverdale has surprised me. 🙌♥️

MidnightBookGirl I loved the Archie comics growing up (the Betty and Veronoca Double Digests were my jam), so I was weary of a TV show. Plus I've always been a Betty fan, and usually she gets screwed over. But the show is actually really addictive! Plus, I love Jughead, which I was not expecting. I'm waiting for season 2 to get on Netflix! 6y
Seekingtardis I‘m loving it too!! But just like @MidnightBookGirl I‘m waiting for season 2 on Netflix!! 😍😍 6y
Mdargusch The show was pretty fun even for me that was used to the original Archie comics. 6y

GarthRanzz I loved season one. Season two, not so much. Huge reveal disappointment the last episode I watched. 6y
heylaurenmack This show is such a guilty pleasure of mine 6y
Autumnlong season two is out of control but I am obsessed with every moment of it. I am so highly anticipating the musical episode 😭✨ 6y

This was pretty hard for me and my cold, cold heart. 🖤
1. I read a lot of Archie comics growing up so...Archie, Betty & Veronica.
2. Lloyd Dobler and Diane Court in Say Anything
3. When Sam and Jake kiss at the end of Sixteen Candles.
(Can you tell I grew up in the 80s? 😁)

#feistyfebs When in need of #palatecleansers I tend to reach for comic books. The goofy sweetness of Archie comics or the droll sarcasm of Garfield always hit the spot. #comicbooks

BraveNewBooks Have you been watching Riverdale? 7y
KerriNTurner @BraveNewBooks no I haven't! I've been tossing up whether I should or not (wondering if it is like the comics at all). Have you been watching? 7y

For a comic fan, there isn't a much more iconic example of #lovetriangles than Archie, Betty, and Veronica! This particular issue does a cool job of gender-swapping the trio - and it's got a #pink cover logo to boot! #feistyfeb #archie #genderswap #loveislove

#feistyfeb day 13: #lovetriangles
Probably the first instance of love triangles I ever came across was in the Archie comics which as a kid I loved to hate (and also hated to love)! Poor Betty!

Mariposa_Bookworm Monday confession: I still buy and read Archie comics. I find them at the grocery store and Barnes and Noble. I love them! 7y
Suzze Perfect! Even as a kid I wanted that to end. 7y
Reviewsbylola I was obsessed with these as a kid. And I couldn't figure out who to root for because I loved Veronica and Betty both! 7y

readinginthedark I love(d) the Archie comics so much! But I enjoyed it more when they were doing their own things as individuals or a group of friends, less when the girls were being petty over Archie. 7y
Indexasaurus Have you watched Riverdale yet? Maybe it's creepy that I, a full-grown woman, love this show, so I'm just going to blame it on my childhood passion for Archie digests 😃 7y
writerlibrarian Good choice 👍🏻 7y
RealLifeReading @Reviewsbylola as a kid I was definitely teambetty. Now I'm not sure! 😂 7y
RealLifeReading @readinginthedark yes much more fun when it wasn't about the love triangle! 7y
RealLifeReading @Indexasaurus no I haven't! Then again I don't have regular tv (ie I only have Netflix!) 7y

#riotgrams I'm not a #comics person but when I was a kid, the Archie digests were my reward for good behavior during grocery shopping.

RanaElizabeth Have you watched any of the new CW show? I've heard it's...um...interesting. 7y
MicheleinPhilly @RanaElizabeth I haven't. My wife wants to give it a shot but lately we haven't been able to wrap our brains around anything other than that day's episode of Ellen. Maybe this weekend. 7y
Suetara My sister and I read lots of Archie comics as kids. Now, mine are obsessed with Riverdale. It's dark and bonkers. But, the creator of the Afterlife with Archie comics (zombies in the Archie world-one of my faves) is involved so I expected it to be different. And it is. 7y

I'm not going to lie, I've never been a comic book reader. However, I have been watching Riverdale and it's really gotten me interested in reading the Archie comics. Did you know Archie, Betty, and Veronica were created in 1941?? I guess I have 75 years worth of catching up to do 😳
#comics #riotgrams

christineandbooks What do you think of Riverdale so far? I've been watching and liking it so far. Haven't really ever read the comics but am just familiar with the characters... 7y
Mtroiano @christineandbooks same here. I like it! I think it's going to fill the void that Pretty Little Liars is about to leave in my life 7y
christineandbooks Yes! I hope so too! 7y
