Here are some pretty roses to brighten your day!
And did you hear that Archie Andrews of the Archie comic strip is being killed off? I was an avid reader of this comic strip as an older child. It was when Archie was a teenager and had neighbourhood friends Veronica and Betty who vied for his affections. Veronica the spoiled, rich brunette always seemed to win out over sweet, blonde Betty. I felt sad at the passing of an era. Did or do you read this comic strip? Archie will die saving the life of a gay friend. Times have changed.

Love the roses. Sorry, don't know who Archie is! Valerie
That's the thing I can't stand about American comics is that they never end. Though I assume with his passing was the only way to officially end it.
I wondered if Archie's death will REALLY be the end of the series...so many characters have been resurrected.
I read Archie comics as a child and regret that he is being killed off. Too sad.
Nice roses. They are very pretty and full of life.
Beautiful roses, thank you! I am sad to hear about Archie. I didn't read that comic, but killing people off seems to happen a lot these days, but I wouldn't think so much so in newspaper comics...
I ran across the Archie story this week, and was quite surprised! Although maybe I shouldn't be. It would certainly be a way to make sure the comic is ending permanently. You can't bring back this comic without the most important character---Archie!
I also was an avid reader of these comics in my youth. I loved them!
I'm now understanding that the original 'Archie' comics will continue. 'Life with Archie', the adult series is where the adult Archie is killed off. Confusing I know.
