Death will take the Hutchinson River Parkway to Riverdale next week In the pages of Life with Archie #6. Yes, not even the safe and secure world of Archie Comics is immune to the modern trend of killing off beloved characters. And is anyone more beloved than sweet, old Miss Grundy, teacher extraordinaire at Riverdale High School?
The New York Times' ArtBeat has the full story.
What will become of Riverdale now that Geraldine Grundy has succumbed to cancer? Who will be left to crush on Principal Weatherbee? (No one.)

why is Archie and Betty smiling?
say it ain’t so
Honestly, I was rather upset about this until I realized this was in an ‘alternate future’ and not in the main storyline. Still, this is a pretty big deal for a character created in 1942.
My favorite recent use of the character was in the TINY TITANS/ LITTLE ARCHIE crossover where it was revealed that she’s married to Solomon Grundy. Made me laugh.
I’ll miss you Miss Grundy!
Another sign of the apocalypse
@bigyanks Archie is smiling because Betty is smiling, and Betty is smiling because Veronica isn’t. Trifling trumphs tragedy.
you guys! “life with archie” is really spectacular. every issue has been terrific. please read it.
Archie is how I got my start in comics so I’ll always be grateful for that.
And I know there has to be some kind of Solomon Grundy/back from the dead joke in there somewhere, but I’m not smart enough to make it.
Nooooooooh!
@bigyanks because the murdered her and got away with it. Why else?
