Corner Panel People

Have you ever read an Archie comic and suddenly, without warning, you stop paying attention to the main characters in the story? Your eyes are drawn to the corner of a panel, where you see the head of a very bizarre character that happens to be walking by. Who the hell are these freaks that walk the streets of Riverdale? Let's begin to meet them.

Herb

Many people wonder about Herb. He enjoys hanging out in front of the local Boutique Chik, a store aimed at teen and young girls. Even more curiously, why does Archie not want Veronica to know that he has been hanging out with Herb? What secrets are hidden by Herb's large yellow glasses and floppy-yet-tight-fitting pea green hat? Is Herb really 70's porn star John Holmes in disguise?

Could Archie have possibly been discussing a trip to Wonderland? Thanks to Veronica's piss-poor timing, we will never know.

Christine

Christine is a quiet girl, but she seems to have it all. Those eyes, those lips, that "I put out on a first date" frock. Yet Archie can only scratch his head as she walks by. What's wrong with Christine? Why does she seem so distant and removed from the rest of the Riverdale gang? Years later, the gang would learn the painful truth. Christine was a brunette trapped in a blonde's body!

Thank God all those hours working as a reporter for the Riverdale High "Blue & Gold" student newspaper would help her later in life.

Johanna

Johannah was the life of every party in Riverdale! She even carved her own legend at those rowdy Central High parties! As you can see above, Veronica is pissed that Johannah is having too much fun at her pool party. Clearly strung out on cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy, Johannah's mind is altered beyond repair. That is, until she discovers her Lord and Savior, Rulon Jeffs.


Now that she has dedicated her life to serving a higher purpose, she is living a wholesome life somewhere on the plains with her husband, sister wife, and 23 children. God bless you, Johannah.
