You know what?

I thought the same exact thing at first. But some quick research shows it’s the other way around. Buzzy Brown didn’t hit the scene until 1943, and this particular issue hit the stands around 1954. Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead were created around 1941. So we’re either looking at a “trend” or a blatant rip-off.

My only conclusion is that they’re all gay – note how they’re spaced so that man and man and woman and woman never come in contact, resulting in those Horrible Sinful Loin-Feelings.

They’re just hungry. The sex comes later.

You know what? Evan might be right. Look at the color of the soda glasses and the color of each character’s shirt. They’re all dreaming of a soda that’s that same (or at least similar) color as the person they’re arm in arm with. Maybe baldy in the middle is dreaming of one that’s tinted slightly brown because he’s into anal.
