Veronica and Archie are better off dating in high school than spending the rest of their lives together. Veronica would be much better off going to college and marrying an attorney or investment-banker in training, while Archie would be lucky to find a woman who will be content with what will likely be a hodgepodge of mid-tier salaried jobs and a couple of vacations in Florida.
A big factor why "Archie" has lasted on the industry, mainly because there are a lot of parents that encourage their kids to buy Archie books. It's just because they do know what they are getting from "Archie". All funny tales about teens and their crazy mishaps. Just innocent hijinks, practical jokes and pranks ideas. Marriage means having to get a job and worry about money not a fun thing for a reader who can barely figure out where his allowance is coming from.
