A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.

Rule 1 - Be civil.
Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.

Posting guidelines:

No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
Where possible, start the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

Hey everyone! In case you haven't noticed, this is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, help out by posting a comic that you enjoy for us to share!

I like the idea that Archie isn't this semi-popular comic from the 40s that's had moments where it returns to the zeitgeist, Riverdale being the most recent, but instead is this colossal juggernaut that's never left our collective consciousness. Like Mickey Mouse impact, but it's teens trying to fuck each other.

I might be overblowing the horniness, my only exposure to Archie is reading Menage a 3 in high school (webcomic with obvious influence from Archie)

Boasting a nearly eight-decade run, Archie is widely regarded as an iconic staple of pop culture.[21][22] The series is credited with codifying several of the archetypes found in subsequent teen and young adult media, such as: the girl next door, the mean girl, the popular jock, and most importantly, the love triangle;[23][24] the dynamic between Betty, Veronica, and Archie is perhaps the most referenced and lampooned example of this particular trope in media.[25]
