I had not even considered the possibility of Lil' Archie porn existing and genuinely hope it does not. Blah.

Archie apparently remains one of the best selling comics in the country, largely because it's still widely available in supermarkets, unlike most comics.

Send me a PM, Bona. I've recently noticed that Archie and the gang dress pretty sharp. Mind you, new artists tend to illustrate them with sloppy, ill-fitting clothes. You can't beat their classic style though.

I had always wanted Archie to do something x-rated as a young lass. Perhaps I will finally get those needs satisfied now that you people tell me there is Archie pr0n. Also, I sympathized with Betty growing up, but upon further reflection, she was a loser. Veronica all the way. Favourite books to be mocked: The Red and the Black The Beautiful and Damned (tied with Gatsby I guess) Waiting Lolita Invisible Cities

Yeah, that's a fun read. I read it in the Loeb Classical Library edition, which, for those who don't know, has the Greek or Latin original on the left page and a (generally pedestrian) English translation on the right. When they get to the part where the gal f*cks the donkey, they have the Latin original on both pages. I guess the theory is that if you are learned enough to read the Latin you won't get turned on or something. Bloody fools!

I have long thought all the witch stuff in Apuleius and Lucan were what really triggered the great witch scare in Europe in the 15th through 17th century much more than anything in the Christian tradition. The witch hunts were more the product of Renaissance humanism than Christian Medievalism, contrary to popular opinion. At least that's what I believe.

There is a lot of quality material here, but it will have to wait until the A.M.

Great to be back.
