Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: GUEST,Jim Date: 29 Jun 07 - 04:12 PM The old Betty and Veronica were the same face with different coloured hair. I can remember a friend of mine (in the fifties) colouring in Betty's hair and we all agreed that she looked just like Veronica. It would probably work with Midge too. Does it work with the new B. & V.? |

Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: MBSLynne Date: 27 Jun 07 - 01:24 PM I've never been in favour of 'updating' comics. The Dandy went on for years much the same then they decided to make it glossy and up-to-date. It is no longer the Dandy but a new mag in my opinion. My daughter went right off it. I don't like the new Betty and Veronica because I liked the old ones and these look like different girls. People change, life changes. Can't we have a few things that don't? Love Lynne |

Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: SharonA Date: 26 Jun 07 - 02:54 AM IMO the new art takes the "comic" out of Archie Comics. They don't look like cartoon characters anymore, so I find them less amusing. Wonder what the other characters will look like: will the boys be beefcakes? Will Archie finally shed the letter sweater? Will Jughead lose the hat, and perhaps even the un-P.C. name? I suppose the "longer serialized stories" that the site mentions will be less like their old extended comic strips (several per comic book), and more like a Marvel Comics story that takes up an entire comic book and prefaces the next book and so on. A tried-and-true way to get kids to buy future issues... IF the new characterizations catch on. That's a big "if". Next thing you know, the girls will acquire superpowers: Betty will sprout metal wings with rockets on the tips, and Veronica will spout fire from her mouth and beam a freeze ray from her eyes... oh, wait, doesn't she do that already? |
Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: JohnInKansas Date: 26 Jun 07 - 01:58 AM It's a comic book, you want real read Playboy.???? You want real, go to any public beach - or in some places to the local shopping mall. Playboy may have traded the airbrush for Photoshop, but it still takes a real stretch of the imagination to call it "real." (Not that it's not an enjoyable read occasionally, if, as we once did, you ignore the pictures and only buy it for the articles.) John |

Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: Little Hawk Date: 25 Jun 07 - 10:37 PM You're right, Bee-dub, Veronica does have a slightly exotic look. I like it, but you're right, she doesn't look as much like a pureblood Wasp "Lodge" as the original version did. Well, Susan, their necks are longer now. That gives them a leaner look. I think their figures are a bit more willowy too, although it's hard to tell from just one picture. You're right, Betty does look dumber. ;-) She looks like a pal of Paris Hilton's to me. |

Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: wysiwyg Date: 25 Jun 07 - 09:29 PM Leaner? They were prtty lean-- do you mean they got boob reductions? Or even boobotomies? I think Betty looks, if this is possible, dumber than ever. ~Susan |
Subject: RE: BS: Betty and Veronica get updated!!! From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 25 Jun 07 - 09:09 PM I dunno. The new Veronica doesn't look much like her last name should be "Lodge". The old Veronica was a dark-haired WASP, but the new one has a hint of something a bit more exotic. A bit of Latina or Asian, maybe? |
