It says it is okay to “feel” and “think”, in a psycho world, and still attempt to be well in a non-supportive environment.

(That is the extent of the spoiler-alert required, maybe.)

As long as you have your friends along!

That is the kicker!

What if friends and a support system does not exist?

At least, not in the flesh?!?

I guess that “theme” runs through the dark fantasies of Riverdale as well.

Because who is really trustworthy?

The writers give you plot after plot that challenges what you thought of as decency.

Is there really anyone to trust besides yourself?

Even that is severely brought into question.

Authority and family are big items amongst these beloved friends of our youth. (At least for many in the Baby-boomer age and before, like me who knew Archie’s pals. And of course, classic comic lovers worldwide.)
