Trying So Hard..?

Check this out… it’s the first time I’ve looked at an Archie comic in many, many years. It’s not so much the whole Goth thing that’s anything other than mildly amusing.
What’s especially chilling to me is that, while the boys have been updated to saying “dude” and talking about video games, the girls are still baking them treats, pining for Archie and (is that?) Jughead’s attention, and going gaagaa over a manicure.
Fifty years of progress(?) for the guys, but Betty and Veronica are just a few years away from bake sales, “homemaking,” and bon-bons!
