The Archies

The Archies was a fictitious rock band created for various Archie Comics publications. The band, formed by the main characters of the various "Archie"-related comics, includes lead singer and guitarist Archie Andrews, bassist Reggie Mantle, tambourinist Betty Cooper, keyboardist Veronica Lodge, and drummer Jughead Jones. Jughead's dog Hot Dog was the group's mascot. In 1968, Filmation produced "The Archie Show", a Saturday morning cartoon based upon the Archie comics.
