I'm bored and have nothing better to do so I'm going to storytime some early Josie issues. If you're reading, please bump and feel free to add to the conversation, thank you.
And that's issue 1. I will be taking short breaks between each issue. I think from here on out I will also be skipping ads unless they feature Archie characters or if they're actually interesting.
Issue 2
I wonder if any kids actually bought the tiny monkey
>>155123187This had to be some kind of scam surely. Were they really mailing out dogs and monkeys just to promote a photography enlargement service?
>>155123210I guess them asking for your favorite photo and asking specifically for your color of hair and eyes sounds kinda suspicious
"helen of toy" is pretty clever
she has a statuesque figure
i actually thought the crab's pincers were his eyes for a second
The end of issue 2
shooting stuff indoors sounds safe
issue 3
i can't tell if her dad is angry at her joke or if he genuinely thinks she's being funny
this page looks familiar
End of issue 3
Issue 4
this is what comics should look likethese coloursthis paperthe inking style and cartooningThis is what they took from us
>>155123615Archie has been releasing "facsimile editions" of old comics that reprint older comics with the intent of retaining the colors and paper effect from the era so they could do two of those if they wanteddoubt they can replicate the style of stories and art though
what, no Pepper fashions?
end of issue 4
issue 5this is the last issue i'll be doing for now because i have to go soon, but if this thread is still up later i'll do some more
i've seen this page a lot before, i think this might be one of the most iconic melody fashion pages
and yet again pepper gets snubbed of a fashion page
I really like Pepper and was really happy to see when they started making an effort to bring her back in recent years. I remember her having some fun background gags with Alexandra in the Archie meets Jay and Silent Bob crossover.
and that's the end for issue 5. thanks for reading along!
here's a bonus story, what is commonly thought to be the first appearance of Josie, Melody and Pepper
now it's the end for real
