The Most Pause-Worthy Moments in Archie Comics History

Riverdale High School, the stomping grounds of Archie, Veronica and co., has a brand new big man on campus. He's Kevin Keller: tall and blond with the most chiseled chin this side of Mt. Rushmore. He's beaten Jughead in a hamburger-eating contest, and caught the eye of Veronica. Oh, and he's gay (and no, we ain't telling who it was that told us he was "big man" on campus).





Last Thursday, Archie Comics announced that they were introducing their first openly gay character, the aforementioned Mr. Keller. To which we say: about time. You see, Riverdale has been a hotbed (pun intended) of sexual activity (both straight and gay) for years. Don't believe us? Have a look at the most flagrant moments in Archie's history.

Never front on a lady that knows how to drive stick. Betty's a winner.

Archie 6

YEAR: 1951

Who here hasn't turned a "spoon" session into a furious bout of the style that doggies love? Our favorite sneak move... that is, next to "Just the tip? Please???"

BONUS!!!: MISS AMERICA COMIC

Not an Archie, but undeniably awesome. Dig how old school comic vixens had the ill waist-to-ass ratio.
