After 65 years and nearly 600 issues, Archie is finally all grown up. He not only graduated from Riverdale High School, he's now a college graduate! And employed! And finally ready to propose......to Veronica Lodge!!! (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30983247/)
Having spent some years watching the trials and tribulations of this gang of friends, I always understood that Archie pined away for the self-absorbed Veronica, knowing (as no doubt did Betty and everyone else in the comic) that ultimately he would wind up with the more thoughtful and genuine Betty (who had in her favor that she adored Archie - faults and all).
Poor long-suffering (really, ridiculously long-suffering) Betty. I suppose things might work out for her - she might actually wind up with Reggie now (but more likely she'll be Archie & Ronnie's maid).
