The CEO of Archie Comics, Nancy Silberkleit, is in trouble
for allegedly referring to all of her male employees by the word
“penis.” Five of Silberkleit’s male staffers recently filed a $32.5
million lawsuit claiming gender discrimination by the CEO, saying she
used her gender as a weapon and has “stalked” employees to the point
that they feel “unsafe.” Allegedly, Silberkleit hired Hell’s Angels to
hang out around the Archie offices in Mamaroneck, New York in an attempt
to intimidate the employees, and she's repeatedly inquired as to the
whereabouts of a handgun that her late husband kept in the Archie Comics
offices. The suit claims Silberkleit has a tendency to yell out things
like “Penis! Penis! Penis!” in business meetings

    Somehow I thought you were the OP, not because it was an Archie thing since I forgot you were an Archie obsessive, but because it's an AV Club link and I associate those with you.

    The dangerous fast paced world of Archie Comics.

    Is it any wonder they have the comic rights to Sonic?

    It always surprises me when people are surprised.

    I know that's kind of meta, but I'm sincere.

    I can understand why Imi isn't interested in Archie Comics.

    I think they're something you have to grow up with, as was the case with me.

    Probably.

    Honestly, I've long decided that in order to care about superhero comics enough to be really into them you have to have started reading them as a kid; maybe I'm wrong...

    I read some as a kid, lost interest, and am now kinda coming back to them.

    That said, our childhoods took place in a time when then-modern and recent comics were pretty shitty.

    There's some iconic, high quality ones that can suck you in, but even then I can't really bring myself to purchase them on a weekly or even monthly basis anymore.


    Now ponies, that's a different story entirely, of course.

    You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
    I have a rather vivid memory of my family listening to an episode of the Sabrina sitcom while stuck in traffic one night. It kinda lost something without the visual gags.

    Fun fact: the NTSC channel 6 has its audio broadcast on the same frequency as 87.7 FM, so any station broadcasting on analog channel 6 (as our ABC affiliate was at the time) can be tuned on a regular FM radio.
