How to Be an Archie Cartoon Fan

Archie was created by Bob Montana in 1941. There were Archie comic books as well as comic strips in both the Sunday and daily newspapers. He became extremely popular, moving on to digest books and his own cartoon television show from 1968 to 1977. Bob Montana passed away in 1975 but his characters still live on today. Read on to learn how to be an Archie cartoon fan.

Things You'll Need

• Internet access
• The Archie's music on CD
• Archie DVDs
• Archie memorabilia
• Archie's comics and digests

Instructions

1. Visit the Archie website. There you can learn all about the Archie cartoon characters, subscribe to Archie comics, purchase Archie products and digests, play games, read Archie comic strips, and listen to old Archie radio shows.

2. Purchase The Archies' music on CD. Their newest CD is titled "Absolutely the Best of the Archies" and as the title suggests, contains all their best music from their hit cartoon show including "Sugar Sugar," a number one hit they produced in the 1969, something that has never been done before by a fictional cartoon band.

3. Find DVDs of Archie's cartoon television shows. There are several DVDs out there with Archie's episodes on them, but you can purchase the entire Archie series on a two-disc set called "The Archie's The Complete Series."

4. Start a collection of Archie memorabilia. You can find a lot of vintage Archie stuff like Archie drinking glasses, The Archies original records, the Archie board game and Archie action figures.

5. Try to collect all of Archie's comics and digests. This would be quite a feat, as there are thousands of them.

6. Visit Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York where you can see Bob Montana's original Archie artwork.

Tips & Warnings

• You can also find Little Archie comics about the gang when they were in elementary school, which were put out originally in the 1950s.
