wow, teen kids news.
- and zam, wham,
wow to you, nancy.
you know, archie, jughead,
betty and veronica,
they've been around for a
long time, haven't they?
- they have been
around for 75 years.
- well, what makes
them so popular
with generation after
generations of kids?
- well, archie, betty and
veronica, they remain relevant,
and i feel that our
readers are right
in their space in school.
- okay, interesting.
besides being the
co-ceo of archie comics,
you were also a teacher.
is that what gave you
the idea to use comics
to deal with issues
like bullying?
- absolutely.
i feel comic books is
a very powerful tool
to communicate information,
and if you think
about the format of comic
books, it's a lot of graphics,
so it gives the
opportunity for the reader
to expand the story.
and once they expand the
story, i feel that they can
internalize information in
a way that they understand.
