I read these comics as a child and it's a mistake to have him choose at all.

The Archie I remember was mostly annoyed by Veronica, that'll come back to bite him.

has anyone taken into account that once this has been milked all it can, you'll find it was a dream, and Archie will never actually choose?

Should be third selection for "who cares", which I'd definately choose!

Nice girls finish last. Of course Betty was the better choice. Maybe Archie just wants to rile the readers up before he picks the right one

    They always say it is just as easy to marry for money. No one realized Archie was a gold digger!

    Why not, in a couple of years they can divorce. Betty can decide then whether she wants Veronica's hand-me down or not.

    Archie has never appreciated her... Betty deserves better. Hope Veronica gets a pre-nup!

    For years even back to the 50's Betty was my choice for Archie. Veronica is a snob,, they dont fit...

    It should be made like the real life bachelor, where he chose one, then changed his mind and chose the other. Veronica is wrong for him.

    Veronica and Reggie are a better match. Aren't we all sure that Betty truly loves Archie? Veronica has always abused him over the years.

      Veronica has always been narcissistic, selfish and vain. Betty is giving, warm and devoted.

        Veronica is a spoiled, daddy's princess. She'll treat Arch like crap, because she's God's gift to men.

          Betty has Adam. Archie doesn't seem like the faithful kind since he's so easily distracted by other girls

            Yes, I knew he'd choose Veronica over Betty..MONEY wins out! lolz, also, it'll make better stories as Archie tries to avoid her dad...

            Veronica is the gal you marry the FIRST time, later, when you want a real relationship, you marry a Betty.

            Oh COME ON guys! He's at the jewelry store proposing!? He's obviously enlisted Veronica's help in practicing to propose to Betty. Get real.

            I think Veronica is helping Archie pick out the ring he is going to give BETTY!!

            Betty is the best choice but money pays the rent.

            I bet he ends up marrying Betty in the end.
