To those of you old enough to recall Archie comics, which character would be your choice to have a fling with: red-haired Archie or raven haired Reggie? Blond haired Betty or raven haired Veronica? I'm going to assume (foolishly, perhaps) that Jughead would appeal to very few. Poor Jughead!
Veronica, I have never been attracted to the blond type but certainly would not rule one out. Hope that doesn't sound too weird, really nothing against blonds.
A voracious reader, I began reading books at an early age. Comics never interested me.
As a kid, I loved cartoons in The New Yorker.
At age 12, I discovered comedians' hilarious writing in the New Yorker: Woody Allen, Steve Martin, Steve Allen and others.
