A Clever Idea by Archie Comics

For the upcoming Archie #600, they're going to fast forward into the future and show us who Archie proposes to (of course, I imagine that who he proposes to is not necessarily who he ends up with, with this being Archie Comics and all).

What a neat idea by Archie Comics for the 600th issue of the title.

I swear I'm generally an easy-going guy (and this is a fun anniversary-stunt idea for Archie Comics) ... but it bugs me that the tagline is grammatically incorrect. It should, of course, read: "WHOM will he marry?"
("He" (that is, Archie) is the subject of the sentence, and "whom" is the object. That's all you need to know to figure out when to use "whom" instead of "who"; it's really a simple rule.)

For the record, I had the exact same objection when Marvel kept asking, "Who do you trust?"

Comics Should Be Grammatical!

"Who will he marry" is correct.

In the future, Archie is a Roman Catholic Priest.

Whoops, spoilers!

That's a No-Prize worthy explanation by The Ugly American if I've ever seen one.

Perhaps its whom he doesn't marry. Maybe he's a serial bigamist.

We all know he ends up with Dilton.

I hope the Punisher crashes the wedding.

And yet it made for a pretty lame finale to Dawson's Creek. Go figure.

I wonder if there are only so many stories you can tell with a married Archie....

I hear he's marrying Bob Phantom.

Dawson married Archie Andrews?

Please ... like when he was gonna choose between Betty and Veronica and went for Cheryl Blossom?

I'll still buy this though. :P

Come to think of it, maybe he'll marry Cherry Poptart.

I think it's sweet that he's finally going to make an honest man out of Jughead.

Kidding! :D

Regardless of who (whom?) Archie marries, everything will be back to the status quo the next issue... after his DEAL WITH MEPHISTO!!! :P

I don't get it, Sijo.

What's the gag with [[Here to read...]]?

It depends.

If Archie continues spending all his time in school chasing girls and not getting a good education, then winds up in a dead end job with no money to pay the bills, he's gonna propose to Veronica.

After he schemes to get all her money, he divorces her and marries Betty, all the while having Cheryl Blossom for his mistress (or maybe Jughead).

Why hasn't anyone brought up the obvious possibility of Archie confessing his true feelings and moving to Vermont with Jughead?

Look up, Nitz.

Billions of Blistering Blue Barnacles!

Whenever I see Archie Comics I always remember that very Family Guy moment on the Simpsons (and this was years before the Family Guy existed) of Homer being throw out of an old jalopy with Jughead and Archie and Moose saying "Duh, Stay outta Riverdale!!"

I've said for years that one bit is where Seth McFarlane got the idea for Family Guy.

"I don’t get it, Sijo.

What’s the gag with [[Here to read…]]? "

I asked the other day why several of the threads here seemed to have a first post that just said,[[Here to Read]] I asked about it but I don't think it was explained. Is it a bot, or somebody's idea of a joke? Whatever, I decided to make fun of it. Just this once. :D

Sorry...who will "he" marry...could be ANYONE...not just Archie...I'm not buying...literally and figuratively..
