The things you think about while weeding...

[silveradept]

...random thought occurs to me, while I've been studiously taking old comic books and designating which ones have come to the end of their shelf life:

Has anyone ever done a study on how Archie Comics characters are the seven deadly sins personified?

Archie is Lust,
Jughead Gluttony,
Betty and Veronica are Envy,
and so forth...

...the things we think about while doing work...

And immediately the FullMetal Alchemist references start pouring into my brain, mixing with the Archie references.

I don't think that crossover would work.

I think you'd have more fun with the Seven Dwarfs, personally. :-)

I don't know, I kind of think the rich kid should be gluttony, and jughead sloth. ;)

Reggie = Pride?

We're still short wrath (could be Moose, although that's a stretch) and avarice.

reggie = avarice, the rich kid = pride...

mr. weatherbee = wrath

but that's just my take on it... i haven't actually read archie comics for 35 years or so...
