Bad times for Archie Andrews

This is one of the most depressing stories I've ever read.

I know there are a lot of people who are devoted to the notion that the comics shouldn't be just for kids, and that we should all be open to the idea of comics that take on serious issues. But I just don't believe it. Some genres should be preserved for kids. Let the grownups watch "Mad Men" or read "The Grapes of Wrath" if they want serious drama; let the kids read their Archie comics in peace.
