A while I noted that the comic strip Funky Winkerbean touched on I/R romance with a BW/WM relationship. I sort of lost track of that storyline, but this evening it was brought to my attention I/R is making the comic book circuit as well. Check this out: could it be our friend Archie has decided not to choose between Betty and Veronica, but is now after one of the Pussycats? I saw it on the Archie website, and you’re seeing it here. That’s a kiss, folks! Now, I haven’t read Archie comics since I was in grade school (don’t recall seeing a lot of Josie stories, though I remember there was a cartoon), and I’d read all the hoopla surrounding the “Archie marries Veronica” thing, so this cover presents a very interesting development. I may just have to pick up this issue for myself.

I’m pleased to announce my new I/R novella, WE ALL SCREAM, is now on sale!
