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
ReplyDeleteThat'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.
ReplyDeleteI wondered if Archie's death will REALLY be the end of the series...so many characters have been resurrected.
ReplyDeleteI read Archie comics as a child and regret that he is being killed off. Too sad.
ReplyDeleteNice roses. They are very pretty and full of life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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...
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
