Characters

Synopsis

What really happened to the Archie gang after high school. Jughead became an alcoholic and doper; Archie flunked out of college, was drafted and sent to Vietnam, where he was shot in the head and eventually died. Veronica had a series of abortions before getting married to a Greek shipping magnate. Betty got married to an abusive hood and is living a promiscuous life in a trailer park in Ohio. Reggie is a big-time executive at CBS after getting to the top by devious methods. Moose went to Vietnam, got his arm blown off, married Midge, and then recorded a patriotic record.

Keywords

abortions; alcohol; college; demonstrations; drugs; Fillmore East; New York; records; sex; Summer of Love; Vietnam

Indexer Notes

Parody of Archie comics. Graffiti in one panel says "Scaperelli was here," which may mean Henry Scarpelli had something to do with the art. (Story is credited to Dean Latimer and Ray Schultz in the table of contents.)
