Everything's Archie

 

 

Duckburg is right next door to Riverdale, apparently.

Uncomfortable Moments in Archie/MLJ Comics

Stupid Comics has the greatest article ever on "Super Duck, the Cockeyed Wonder."

Super Duck was Archie Comics' lame Donald Duck ripoff, who somehow managed to stay published throughout the 1940's and '50s, despite being terrible.

"Thanks" to Timo Ronkainen for alerting me to this character's existence.

Duh, stay outta Riverdale

Since all comics bloggers are required by law to have at least one Archie post per calendar year, here's the cover to Archie and Friends #137:

Hey, who's that over Archie's right shoulder?

That's not a bad Dewey (Louie? Who can tell?)- recognizable, but changed just enough to avoid a lawsuit. That off-brand Donald though, woof. Looks like the crappy new Howard the Duck got lost on his way to Oktoberfest.
Anyway, it looks like a fun issue, and I look forward to skimming through it on the checkout line at the Stop and Shop.

From Archie and Friends #137, by Fernando Ruiz, available at finer comic shops.


EDIT: Timo Ronkainen informs me that the ducks are actually Super Duck and his nephew. I'd never heard of Super Duck before...you learn something new every day!
