Archie to marry Veronica

Archie, the redheaded comic character, has proposed to Veronica. Betty, the blond girl next door, got the shaft after 67 years of trying.

Apparently in the comic world this is old news. We heard about the engagement Friday afternoon after The Associated Press moved a story about Richmond, Va, comic book owner Dave Luebke who was so upset he sold his Archie Comics No. 1 issue.

"Betty is it. Not Veronica," he told the AP. "This is serious."

Don't feel too bad for him. Luebke took home $38,837 after Heritage Auction Galleries sold it Friday.
