Dilton in a bad but creative in using limited available items home-made TMNT costume. I actually do wonder if that is what influenced the change in color.

More from those 2014 Archie comics.

Archie started sometime in the 40s, right? They juuuuust missed my favorite eras: the 30s, for their cartoons, and the roaring 20s, for their basically everything. I wish the Archie gang had been around in the 20s. (Just imagine the outfits, for starters.)

So it feels like this 2014 comic book is specifically targeted towards me, because they have TWO SEPARATE COMICS about swing dancing!

Just one would be crazy awesome to me. Two is kind of unbelievable.

That’s it, that’s the whole post. I really really like that they made two whole comics about swing dancing, and I’m sharing my excitement with the few people who will see this post.

i always love when it's such a long ways to get to the joke. you can kinda see the thought process of smart vs dumb, so they didn't just put any ol character in a hot tub. and it was probably supposed to seem somewhat topical for solar energy so they had to use dilt. which means the tub had to be homemade looking and have a bunch of mechanical components. ok

but then who saw this and was like "the viewers will be confused about how he got in the tub! he's short!" so they had to add a stepladder?????????????????????????

and adding the main characters just hanging around to laugh is a fun touch. and the cartoon sun.

honestly tho they did do some crimes to dilton (ken doll syndrome. which of course the archie characters usually get. men Cannot Have Nipples and Must Have Abs no matter how little sense it makes. maybe in large part due to cultural reasons but also probably partly to make the characters easier to standardize between artists???) and to poor moose (WAIFED)
