two birds
let’s hold hands again and make love like you weren’t a conquest. i won’t try to impress you, i’ll put on a corn husk mustache and farm boots and talk about plowing as i lay my weight upon you. you can mock me and tell me my crooked seeds can’t swim. “i’m jumpin’ in your swimmin’ hole nevertheless darlin’” i say and we shut up and do it.
There was a band in Lawrence, KS in the late 80s, early 90s called Paw. They had a song called “Veronica” that I always get stuck in my head every time I see Archie comics. And Ronnie’s rack in that red sweater certainly recalls youth…
“Veronica” by Paw.
Jughead don’t know what he’s missin’
That redhead don’t know what he’s got
Betty should pick her friends a bit better
Ronnie knows what she’s doing
What’s hot is hot
Yeah, what’s not is not
Veronica
See what she’s got on
What you’re doin’s wrong
Or maybe it’s too right
She dry strokes me with her wardrobe
Her tan shape just makes me sick
Her profile just takes away my weak legs
Aw, she’s so smart
She’s a pistol
Veronica
See what she’s got on
What you’re doin’s wrong
Or maybe it’s too right
She don’t know me
She don’t care to see me
Page after page i’m turnin’
Time after time i’m burnin’
Howdy miss Lodge, you little cock tease, clothes horse, poor little rich girl
Why don’t you come over here, so i can raise your little skirt up, over your narrow hips,
Oh, and spank your perfect ass, spank your perfect ass, spank your perfect ass.
Your little blonde friend can join right in.
Can you imagine
What she smells like?
Can you imagine, hey,
How her skin feels?
So well oiled
Such a bitch, so ready
My god, how my mind reels
Oh, how my mind reels
Veronica
Hey, i’d like to make you blush
Bet your carpets plush
I’ve probably said too much
You don’t know me
You don’t care to see me
Page after page i’m turnin’
Time after time i’m burnin’

Dear Jon–
I have looked at this post no less than 15 times since it has been posted. I love this. I love all of it.
I used to read archie comics in the back of our station wagon when my dad picked me up after ballet lessons (which were given in a high schooler’s livingroom). He would then drive to the dump listening to car talk on the radio.
I want to see the whole piece?
anyway to make that happen?
sincerely, erin

I’ll scan the last one, where I combined their conversations. It isn’t really any more than what you see. Unless you mean the actual Archie comic, but that’s all cut up. They’ll be more, I’m looking to make a comic strip with non traditional backgrounds.

oh, i cut out some body parts from an old playboy and put it on Veronica, but then I lost walking home last night. Someone is gonna hopefully find it on the sidewalk and have their brain blown away.
