The best we ever did was 8-8. But my career was not as dreadful as people make it out to be. You don't see any scars on Archie Manning.
What's really great about the Archie Comics as a whole is that everybody is relatable.
It used to be that people would watch TV shows because they knew the characters would stay the same. Whether it's Archie Bunker or it's Thomas Magnum you watch it because it's like, 'I'm comfortable, this is the same guy.'
Some people thought we were presenting Archie as a false character. President Nixon thought we were making a fool out of a good man.
Millions of people thought Archie was a happy hero.
In high school, I remember feeling like a Jughead - like I was a little bit weird and kind of emotional. I also remember feeling like an Archie - sort of the leader of the pack.
I haven't watched a lot of television, but when I was kid, I watched 'All in the Family,' and I liked Archie and Edith a lot.
When I would read the 'Archie' comics when I was younger, I was rooting for Betty and Archie way over any alternative.
The way Jughead talks to Archie and vice versa is very much the way I would talk to my twin.
Then is when I decided to take it to Archie to see if they could do it as a comic book. I showed it to Richard Goldwater, and he showed it to his father, and a day or two later I got the OK to do it as a comic book.
