The Old School Otaku Lounge

Someone on Twitter posted a link to this & I couldn't help but laugh. Apparently Jughead from Archie is a fan of anime & manga? http://slaymonstrobot.blogspot.com/2012 ... l?spref=tw

The thing that really kills me is that this was published in 1996?! Someone who worked for Archie comics must've been a fan themselves, I mean, talking about buying Japanese books and imported Laser Discs? That wasn't terribly mainstream back then...

Dang, Jughead is looking kinda chunky in some of those panels. He needs to lay off the burgers.

The mid 90s isn't typically an era from which I buy Archie comics, but I will have to keep an eye out for this issue.

Wow that's funny! I met some of my best friends the same way that blonde attracted Jughead...random manga or anime on my desk. XD

Yeah, I remember a lot of friends in high school started talking to me either from seeing me draw (lol I did a lot of bad anime fanart back then ), seeing me read manga/anime mags, or finding out that I ran the anime club. AH, MEMORIES.
