I wonder if Archie and Jughead are Presbyterians... ::)

Of course, this was back in an era before the Christian right made a big deal against the gay community (Kevin Keller, the gay friend of Archie and the gang, now has his own comic book), and back at a time when American presidents were white by default (Obama has practically driven racists out of the closet).
