Archie Statements
• When Veronica is grounded from going out, or inconvenienced by a storm, it is considered comical because she lives in the lap of luxury.
• When Archie is looking forward to something or enraptured by something, he will be beset by so many calamitous versions of the thing he cherishes that in the last panel of the story he announces that he never wants to have anything to do with that thing ever again.
• Whenever Betty thinks Archie is taking her out that night, he’s really taking Veronica out that night.
• Jughead thinks he hates things (girls, food other than hamburgers, trendy fashions) but can be convinced otherwise, though he always reverts to his old traits.
• Hot Dog is sentient and highly skilled, but is weak-willed and unreliable.
• Dilton Doiley’s superior intelligence apparently renders him automatically unattractive and remote.
• Moose’s instinctive reaction regarding people who challenge him in any way is to beat them up.
