* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Believe it or not, arguments have popped up surrounding Betty- is she a [[Housewife]] / [[Proper Lady]] in waiting (pro) or a [[Yandere]] in waiting (con)?
** This [http://mightygodking.com/index.php/2009/06/03/it-puts-the-lotion-on-its-skin/ article] from MightyGodKing is definitely in the Beyond-Yandere column.
** Opinions on Veronica generally surround which part of [[Rich Bitch]] or [[Jerk
** Some fans think that Betty harbors a crush on Veronica, and may not even know it.
* [[
* [[Fan
* [[Foe Yay]]: A [https://web.archive.org/web/20140324233556/http://home.earthlink.net/~copaceticgallery/Pep6.html Harry Lucey] comic had Archie dating Reggie after Veronica was unavailable.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Of course, being such a long runner, this is to be expected. An example is Dilton saying that it would be years before anyone gets to the moon.
* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Big Ethel can be this, depending on the artist.
* [[Recycled Script]]: Used often and unabashedly, due to the incredible number of stories already in existence and the short timeframe of an Archie Comics reader. And, of course, no one would notice [[Viewers
** The same Jughead gag showed up in two different digests released ''in the same week'' of that month.
*** It's been worse. One digest reused a near-exact version of a joke in two comics ''on the same page''.
Line 16:
** A big, current example: several of the "New Look" stories have just been taken (characters, whole sections of dialogue, etc.) from the "Archie Novels" series from the early 1990s. Moose & Midge's break-up, Ron & Betty fighting about Nick St. Claire, and Archie moving away were all topics taken.
* [[Shipping]]: A common [[Fanfic]] concept features Jughead paired up with someone, usually Betty. Some writers themselves have commented that they'd like to see the two put together, but ultimately can't break up the ultimate Love Triangle at the heart of the stories.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: ''Super Dickery'' (the website) shows a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130509133642/http://superdickery.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1103:archie-serves-black-people&catid=29:confounding-comic-covers-index&Itemid=32 cover] in which Archie motions toward the bar and says, "We serve ''anyone''!" (in response to Mr. Weatherbee whether he serves crabs). The awkward part? He appears to be pointing at Chuck, his black friend... Come again?
* [[Values Dissonance]]: One old strip had Archie's dad flip out over Archie asking for ''ten whole dollars'' for gas.
** On the other hand, considering how notoriously cheap Archie's dad is, this joke might be even funnier now.
* [[We
** Sometimes digests include old stories reprinted with modern cultural references awkwardly inserted.
