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!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archie_(comic_book)#Cultural_impact_and_legacy

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]
