Archie Marries Veronica...and Betty

[rich]

kudos to the path not taken
today's NY Times:

The wedding story was written by Michael E. Uslan and illustrated by
Stan Goldberg, a longtime “Archie” artist. The first half was called
“Archie Marries Veronica,” but issue No. 603, on sale next month, is
called “Archie Marries Betty.” The end of bachelorhood began in issue
No. 600, in which Archie found himself on a road named Memory Lane,
which he has often traveled. This time he walked a different direction
and encountered a fork in the road. He chose the left path, which
allowed him to see his future with Veronica and their twins, and
himself working for her tycoon father.

At the end of the October issue, No. 602, Archie goes for an evening
stroll and encounters the fork again. In the November issue Archie
will find himself back in Riverdale High, this time envisioning a
future with Betty as his wife. (A set of twins factors into this
destiny as well.)
