There comes a point where needlessly harpooning a subject matter extends itself to the desire to pick up the original material and simply cherish it for the subtle context that has added to the cultural evolution of society held deep within its pages.

Fortunately, Archie comics still suck raw toejam and I wont have to worry about that happening any time soon.

Ah, yes, I was hoping the last one would make the grade. (And, of course, all the copycat anuses that came down the pipe later.)

“Popcorn, Motherfucker!” gets an honorable mention.

Any chance of getting a non-publicized online repository of all the Archie images somewhere? For MGK readers only?

I remember the last one from my childhood, and it was pretty much exactly the same exchange with less explicit/more forced dialogue.

Oh how I miss Improved Archie. What are the odds of it returning in some way?

“That’s a joke, right? Plasse say it’s a joke.”

Yes it was, don’t worry. 😉 I remembered the “stat” post from December 1st, this part to be exact:

FLAPJACKS: Still, I assume I will generally not urgently need people to tell me about Kant or whatever.
(Pause.)
ME: Do you actually know anything about existential philosophy, or did you just pick “Kant” as a philosopical-sounding name at random and hope your reference would be right?
FLAPJACKS: The second one.
ME: I thought so.

Up until now I thought it was jut a philosophical-sounding name, but turns out there WAS a Kant and he WAS a philosopher.

I should never, ever doubt that Flapjacks doesn’t know what he’s talking about. That’s what I’m taking away from this.

Oops, I meant to say that I should never, ever doubt Flapjacks DOES know what he’s talking about. (I think.)

“Up until now I thought it was jut a philosophical-sounding name, but turns out there WAS a Kant and he WAS a philosopher.”

See, as someone who knew beforehand that Kant was a real philosopher, I figured that without knowing that you wouldn’t appreciate the joke.

Joy! Man, I have missed these. As a former contestant and rare winner (under the nom de Interweb JJGalahad), I still have fond memories of the comedy gold that each one of those posts created.

And I still can’t hear the name Orville Redenbacher without thinking “Popcorn, Motherfuckers!”

It already exists. I won’t post direct links since I don’t want to inadvertently get MGK in trouble with the law, but I will say that it’s really not that hard to find – you just have to know where to look.
