quote:

In Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Salem was a warlock who’d been sentenced to live for 100 years as a cat after trying to take over the world. However, in The Chilling Adventures comic his story is quite a bit darker. As shown in a standalone issue of the series, he was a human who was turned into a cat by Salem’s witches after getting a witch pregnant and refusing to marry her.

lmao someone on that writing team had an axe to grind.



This is a safe space to talk about Boy Meets World, Teen Angel, Sabrina, and all your favourite friday night teen block programming

it's about hitting those nostalgia buttons while at the same time reassuring your audience that they aren't "childish" for still enjoying your product

wait, the bully was the one who turned into a hideous monster, and only because he was doing his assigned latin homework? that subverts all of the tropes.

also: I picked up a new archie comic in the supermarket once to see what was going on, and the page i looked at had Betty and Veronica making out in a crater where riverdale high used to be, so that was cool.

lots of students are obsessed with archie comics too. Old-style wholesome, new-style dark and grim, whatever it is they'll take it

If I see a kid bring in Archie vs The Punisher that's gonna be auto extra credit on a quiz or something

I read the new Archie comics when I ahve to work nights because I work at a convenience store, they're still very bland and I like them a lot for passing the time. Miss all the 90s Kool aid ads though
