Clueless in Riverdale

Back when I was a kid, Archie would go all educational every once in a while with a story that was full of facts; I remember one in particular about sugar that must have been paid for by the Sugar Association or some such group. The facts in these stories were generic (“Many foods contain sugar!”) but generally accurate.

If the Manga Association paid for this month’s Archie, they should be asking for their money back. Johanna reads it so we don’t have to. The first question that jumped to my mind appeared almost immediately in the comments: Why didn’t they pick up the phone and talk to Sabrina artist Tania del Rio? She’s an articulate and knowledgeable manga artist that works for the same company, but I guess that was too obvious for them. Sigh.
