A Favorite of my Childhood

When I was younger, between the ages of six and ten, I read many, many books. I read all of the stories with all the interesting little animals that shared wisdom for life, The Berenstein Bears, and Dr. Seuss. To be honest, I wasn't really a book person back in the day; I liked comics better. I was really a big fan of the Archie comics. Archie was cool sometimes, but Jughead was my favorite character. I always liked the comic relief that he provided due to his constant hunger and apathetic nature. Even though I did not understand all of it at times because it was ahead of my time (they spent like six years in high school), there was something about the realism of the comic that intrigued me. Archie gave me a sort of idea of what the future would bring through school, at home and in life. I mean, sure I liked the superhero comics, but they started to become cliche and predictable as I got older. Sometimes when they were not, they just became weird and diluted. I eventually took a break from Archie, and switched over to anime comics. Now, seven years later, I found all of my old Archie and Jughead comics in the back of my closet, behind Naruto and DragonBall, and brought back memories of Riverdale High.
