Civil War in Riverdale

I picked up the latest Archie digest while grocery shopping today. I found the cover to be particularly amusing. Rarely do you see Archie taking sides against his chums as if he's prepared to fight to the death in this parody of so many face-off covers that have come before it. The story very loosely parallels Marvel's CIVIL WAR although the issue here isn't anti/pro-registration but rather anti/pro-increase in allowance. Archie is pro, wanting more money to spend on dates, and Jughead is anti, believing that an increase would mean less 'buddy' time with Archie. (insert Chasing Amy joke here) Sigh.... Even in high school, these kids are still getting allowance. Doesn't anyone work in Riverdale? Friggin' kids.

The resolution comes by way of Mr. Lodge (Veronica's wealthy old pop) who talks to all the parents and get this: "WILL get an allowance, provided they keep up with their chores and responsibilities!" That's it? No dead teenagers? No traitors? No underground rebellions?
Two words: Lame ass.

I've spent way too much time on this post. Stupid Archie.
