Oh yeah, I think the idea of him being a punk is awesome-it’s just the hairstyle that caught me off guard. And I think the writing on the covers of those issues, like “Ladies and germs” and whatnot is uber ridiculous. It’s like middle-aged men trying to write “punk”. But yeah, I think the actual skateboarding and punk stuff is fine, as long as that haircut never sees the light of day again
Yeah, I’ve seen some scans of that goth issue. I rather liked her look in that issue.

I actually think the idea of him being on the ‘punk’ side is really cute- and the skateboarding’s okay, too, because a lot of teens, including my little bro, do it, but that haircut is RIDICULOUS.

Hey, speaking of Archie and counterculture, have you ever seen the ‘goth’ issue? XD Basically, Betty went goth, and then the rest of them did too. (They all looked good, except maybe Archie, but then, I’m rather biased against him…)

Actually, Betty as a ‘perky’ goth would’ve been a rather adorable characteristic of her….

That’s pretty much what Jughead has come to represent, I think. I believe the powers-that-be caught onto the fact that they could market Jughead towards the readers that are more against the grain, if you will. If they didn’t plan on creating counterculture!Jughead in the 60s, they definitely did that in 1990, with that crazy haircut and skateboarding stuff.

Wow! Wait, so does this mean that Jughead, as the decades pass, is supposed to be from each ‘laid-back’ counterculture- beatnik, hippie, and punk?

That is SO cool.
