Not to long ago I posted about the new turn of events in the Archie comic book series. To read that post click here. Here is Stephen Colbert's response to the news. I appreciate not only his humor but the fact that he compares the archetypes of (get it..archie-types?) of Bettie and Veronica and the fact that we "define women characters based on which man they can land."
In this piece Colbert offers comic relief to the co-dependency of Archie's relationship with Betty and Veronica but also the sexism that occurs in the world of politics which he compares to the Archie cartoon.
Sure it's just a goofy comic strip but I see no harm in pointing out obvious.
