If you had any doubt that Archie and the gang would outlive both you and your grandchildren, put those fears to rest. Archie will be with us always!
In a strange utopian future based on a suburbanite dad's view of punks as future people, Mister Weatherbee is "stayin alive", or something. Oh, it's a scavenger hunt for 20th century items. I sure hope mullets and late-80's mall-hair are on the list. That would be an easy one!
One thing is still constant though, Reggie is still a sociopath. Along with the equally killable future-Veronica they set out to make life miserable for Jughead. Luckilly they have a bulky K-tel "map" that will lead them to the items in question. Glad to see K-tel is back in business so many years from the demise of the 8-track tape. By the way, why the fuck are these two rich kids even bothering with this? Shouldn't they be out drunk-driving, or fucking in a pile of money or something? I would be!
Is it really a scavenger hunt if you have a map that tells you where everything is? Jughead looks rather dashing in his black tights and Star-Trek top, and Archie's tribute to Ace Frehley is half-assed, but interesting still. The way they are mincing along I'd think they were gay, except for Archie's brown slacks. Really Archie? Brown slacks with a blue top? It;s the year 3000 and you still dress like an asshole?
I can't even follow the story for the horrible "artwork". The last time I saw figures this stiff I was at the Mummy section of the museum.
Poor Big Ethel. Science has gone so far as to create a Six-headed Psychedelic Venus Flytrap, but it still can do nothing for her face. Perhaps dentistry was sacrificed to may way for K-tel map technology.
Our story ends with some weird furry shit going down. I can't be bothered to read it. Did you know I just sold 100 Archie Digests on eBay? I hadn't even read them.
