Talk:Archie Andrews

message: There is another Archie TV adaptation I'm surprised to see isn't mentioned in the article: a sitcom pilot was made in the 50s.  I saw it on tape many years ago and remember almost nothing about it except that it starred William Schallert from The Patty Duke Show as Archie's dad.
:I checked the imdb, I couldn't find the show nor William Schallert's character. Are you sure about the show? I never heard of it. Maybe you should make an article about it, that would be great. Don't forget to put to the sources. HoneyBee 09:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I've noticed Archie's full name being reverted to "Archivald" instead of "Archibald" more than once. In every story I've read and article about Archie, it has always been "Archibald". Is this a joke or something? I understand the v and b are next to each other on US keyboards... Flowertea 08:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: either ppl don't have a clue that his real name is Archibald and probably think it's a joke for "Archi-Bald", they thought his name might be with 'v'. or maybe it just a typo...or maybe vandal. the best thing to do is to put source next to his name. maybe from his official website.

replies: text:  Also confused by Chick references, shortbio has no mention of it, was the first 'historical' account of the comic I could find. Lexprod (talk) 14:43, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Name?

message: I think it should be mentioned that his new car is clearly a Ford Mustang. It has the Mustang symbol on the front and says Ford on it.

message: Just so you know, I can verify this. I own an issue which features this comic. Archie ends up leaving the agency embarrassed, when a antique car collector tells him that he likes the car and he's worried it would get damaged if Archie drives it, but that part doesn't matter. What's important is that the issue exists. I'll go ahead and check if those were Archie's exact words.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by SecretName101 (talk • contribs) 01:21, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Ford, Chevy, Plymouth, Pierce-Arrow, Packard, DeSoto, Hudson ..." explaining that his jalopy was "a collection of replacement parts from several junkyards", some of which dated back to 1926. 

message: I'm not sure where, but somewhere I read or watched a parody of Archie starring:
Fartchie, Fuckhead, Slutty, Veronicunt, Dildoton, Ass and Splooge, etc.
It was gross and funny. If anybody knows, cite sources, include in article?

thread_title:  Fartchie? 

message: In the newspaper comic trip from 1946, Archie's car is described by a valet as a 1917 model.  This article states that it's a 1916.  It's certainly possible that it was referred to as a 1916 somewhere else.  I wonder if anyone could tell based on the design - were there any differences from one year to the next?  174.89.30.53 (talk) 03:46, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Since his page describes him as "artist", did Bob Montana create Archie alone? If not, who was the writer?  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  20:19, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: •sigh• I should read more carefully... Can somebody cite Bloom as co-creator here & here? Thx.  TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura  20:45, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The article bounces around a bit suddenly, What about an order that went backstory > characterization > other media?
So revised would look like: 
2 Bob Montana and Haverhill, Massachusetts
1 Character and story
4 Relationships
4.1 Love life
4.2 Friends
5 Interests
5.1 Sports
5.2 Archie's car
5.3 The Archies
3 Archie on radio
6 Archie: To Riverdale and Back Again

message: Since the Character/Story section now mentions that Archie will die defending Kevin Keller, maybe he warrants a mention in the Friends section?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.65.128.29 (talk) 23:23, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

message: The article needs some analysis of the success of Archie. What did people like about the cartoon ? Was there serious criticism of it for any reason ? Why did it succeed where others failed. Opinions from the creators of the cartoon would be illuminating to. This is a very factual account overall. 86.135.11.80 (talk) 23:34, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Many people have freckles. What was salient about original Archie's head was his trademark cross-hatch hair on the sides, which was a mystery to us kids, and was pointedly lampooned in the final pages of Mad Magazine's 1954 parody "Starchie".
It has been said to represent shading, but I don't recall it as a shading technique in other cartoon characters. I figured it showed his hair crew-cut on the side. But discussion on the internet is oddly sparse. JohndanR (talk) 16:29, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
