Celebrate Memorial Day with 70′s Archie and Terrible Animation
What day could be more Patriotic than Memorial Day… besides Veteran’s Day and the Fourth of July? You know what, don’t answer that. Memorial Day is very patriotic – end of sentence.
Anyway, celebrate your long weekend America-style with these ridiculous clips from US of Archie. During the 70′s, centennial fever and Archie malaria both spread across the nation, culminating in the cartoon series “The US of Archie.” You might notice the same band animations get repeated over and over again – that’s a metaphor Filmation built into the series, to represent how time and again America must re-engage in military conflicts, in order to keep the world at peace.
Riverdale Salute!
George Washington Carver
