Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Archie made his first appearance in which title?

Answer: "Pep"

"Pep" #22 in 1941, to be exact.

2. What is Reggie's last name?

Answer: Mantle

3. What longtime and currently deceased Archie artist created "Josie and the Pussycats"?

Answer: Dan DeCarlo

DeCarlo was fired from Archie Comics after decades of working there, when he sued them for residual payment for any money Josie made the company. I think he thought the movie would do a lot better than it did, since he didn't decide to sue until the film's production was announced.

4. Which of these was never an Archie title?

Answer: "Archie's Super Cool Jalopy"

It is believed that Archie has made more appearances in actual comic issues than any other comic book character.

5. Moose was diagnosed with what disorder?

Answer: Dyslexia

A kind of more serious storyline announced Moose's dimness was due to dyslexia.

6. What is the name of Jughead's dog?

Answer: Hot Dog

Archie was the original owner of Hot Dog. How he wound up with Jughead is a mystery.

7. What are the names of Sabrina's aunts?

Answer: Zelda & Hilda

They look a lot better in the TV show starring Melissa Joan Hart than in the comics.

8. What is the name of Riverdale High's newspaper?

Answer: Blue & Gold

Through the years, there have been many different editors of the Blue & Gold, but Betty and Archie have had the most shots at it through the years.

9. Which of these characters is not part of Archie's world and continuum?

Answer: Lil Jinx

Captain Hero is Jughead's alter ego. Even though it's an alternative world, it's part of Archie's.

10. What spy spoof did the gang star in?

Answer: "The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E."

Obviously it was a parody of the TV show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.".

11. What is Dilton's last name?

Answer: Doiley

Notice the trend with Archie characters and the same intitials? Archie Andrews, Jughead Jones, Waldo Weatherbee, Dilton Doiley, Moose Mason, Geraldine Grundy, etc...

12. What is Jughead's real first name?

Answer: Forsythe

His middle initial is P.

13. What did one of the pins on Jughead's hat magically do?

Answer: made him a girl magnet

In the early stories he resisted the attraction, being the girl-hater he was. In later stories, he used the pin to his advantage.

14. What was the name of the publisher before it was called Archie Comics?

Answer: MLJ

After Archie became a success, the named the company after him. Not bad for a teenager with funny red hair and freckles.

15. Who is generally considered the creator of Archie and the gang?

Answer: John Goldwater

16. What model car did Archie replace his jalopy with?

Answer: Ford Mustang

Archie seems to be behind when it comes to cars. He drove an old jalopy that outdated him by decades and then a 60's Mustang that does the same thing.

17. Chuck Clayton was created to make the comic more ethnically diverse. What is the name of Chuck's girlfriend?

Answer: Nancy

Chuck's dad is Coach Clayton, Riverdale High's coach (along with Coach Kleats).

18. Who is not a supporting character?

Answer: Nurse Honeywells

19. What company released a very well done Archie trading card set in 1992?

Answer: Skybox

Krome did a nice set, too, in the late 90's.

20. Archie has appeared in comics, cartoons, comic strips, books, and live action TV. Plus they cranked out pop hits. Which of these is not one?

Answer: "Mish Mash Mosh"

They didn't have the most original song titles, did they? The Archies, led by Ron Dante, hit #1 in 1969 with "Sugar Sugar". Not bad for a bunch of cartoon characters.

21. Archie's parents are named Fred and Marilyn.

Answer: False

It's Fred and Mary.

22. Veronica played what instrument in "The Archies"?

Answer: keyboard

Archie and Reggie on guitars, Jug on drums, and Betty looked pretty banging a tamborine.

23. Archie had the R on his sweater, what did Jug have on his?

Answer: S

The "R" stood for Riverdale, but who knows what the "S" stood for.

24. Which of these was never an Archie title?

Answer: "Lazy Lou"

All three of the right answers were titles outside of the Archie continuum. Pat the Brat followed Lil Jinx's success and Wilbur was a version of Archie. Super Duck? He seemed like a Donald Duck rip-off to me.

25. Who is the science teacher at Riverdale High?

Answer: Flutesnoot

His name is a funny play on his big nose.
