Can we talk about todayâs âArchie?â Thatâs not a pun. Itâs not even a joke. Itâs kind of words, attached to some sort of âartâ, I guess⌠the words donât really make sense, and the art doesnât really go together. But the real issue is, who read these vaguely linked panels and thought âgood⌠Yes. Publish thatâ. Thatâs what I want to know.

Rachel says:
This is Lola. Sheâs in her second year at Harvard, doing a masters in Business. Sheâs clearly on her way to a party of some sort - Iâm thinking her birthday party. I feel like she might have asked her friends for a small, appropriate party, before giving them a 35 person guest list and telling them sheâd âact surprisedâ. Sheâs vivacious and fun, and incredibly smart. After her degree sheâll move to New York and work semi-obsessively, so she can make enough money to retire early. Sheâs very driven. She also has an intense obsession with fashion; one of the reasons she looks forward to making money is that she can finally afford to splurge on all the clothes she covets. Sheâs less about haute couture, however, and more about finding fun or frilly outfits that make her feel excited to put them on. Forever 21 is her weakness. She loves dancing, and is constantly pressing her friends to try Zumba with her. She reads her horoscope every morning, and, if no one is looking, she eats frosting right out of the can.Â

There. Is. Going. To. Be. A. âBored To Death.â Movie!
YES YES YES
(Note from 2022 Rachel, I think this didnât actually happen?)
help! iâve fallen in front of a computer playing episodes of Sailor Moon and I canât get up!
This is really more of a tweet.

Rachel says: this is Margot (gingerbread) and Aemilia (eggnog). To me, theyâre very clearly university roommates. Theyâre both from Vancouver, but I feel as though theyâre going to school abroad somewhere, possibly the Netherlands. Being from the same place and meeting abroad cemented their friendship really quickly; Aemilia wonders if they would have been friends otherwise. Margot is outgoing and charismatic, and regularly performs numbers from âthe Pirates of Penzanceâ while drunk. She has a vague idea of being a CFO because it sounds both important and ambiguous, but she will likely marry a European stranger on an impulse and will spend a few years travelling instead. Aemilia envies Margotâs sparkling style, but is much loved for her own soft sense of humour, and her willingness to try new experiences. Although she might not look it, she is always game to try strange foods and new adventures like skydiving. She wants to be a baker, and own something fun like a trendy cupcake shop or a French Pâtisserie. Together, Margot and Aemilia are most often found shopping, going for pizza, or watching old romantic comedies on Netflix. Margot loves brown sugar, which she eats with a spoon, and she only ever reads the life & style section of the newspaper. Aemilia scours food blogs as part of her morning ritual, and has a thing for cotton candy.Â

I love him just as much in this photo as I did when I was 14 and I had pictures of Jack Dawson all over my wall. He looks like an old Hollywood star in this photo, like Clarke Gable or something. I guess he is sort of our âmodernâ âold Hollywoodâ star.Â
Also I want to see this movie so much.
