You grew up in the 80s.

Had you grown up in the 70s, you would have been able to enjoy the miracle of realism that was Life With Archie. Fortunately for you, there is The Internet.

Do you mean this before or after the art style change? :P

Before, of course. :)

no, they don't look anorexic. the characters on Daria are drawn way thinner. there is a difference between thin and anorexic, you know.

When you've been used to B and V as bordering on voluptuous, you kinda see the new drawing as rather anorexic in contrast.

Well, if it makes you feel better, the art style is only for selected stories. :) It's an experiment.

Well, as long as they keep the classic style art, then it's all good. They've slightly changed the art style with each decade, but nothing THIS drastic.

Yes, I've read and had 40's Archie, 50's Archie, 60's Archie, 70's Archie, 80's Archie, 90's Archie, current Archie, Little Archie, New Little Archie, The New Archies, Katy Keene, and just about any other alternate universe Archie they tried to roll around.

I was, and still am, that big of an Archie fan.

That kinda stumped me.

Jughead liked January McAndrews due to the fact that she's a descendant of Archie's.

Let the homoerotic shippers abound.

Haha I actually find it cute. But not something I would go back to like the old Archie art.

It just rubbed me the wrong way. The change was really drastic, but I guess Archie can get away with it since their sales are phenomenal.
