Archie’s 65th Anniversary Bash—FCBD 2006 EDITION
by Dan Parent
“Moving Forward”:
When Archie's dad is offered a lucrative job in another state, Archie
reflects back on his Little Archie days, and sets off to tell his
friends that he'll soon be moving. Along the way, he reminisces with
Sabrina, Josie, “That Wilkin Boy,” and more. He even runs into Katy
Keene and The Veronicas! Breaking the news to his inner circle
of friends — Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie — is toughest of all,
but the gang relieves the sting by throwing Archie a mega going-away
part at Pop's. Can Archie really be leaving Riverdale on the eve of
Archie Comics’ 65th anniversary?
