We love to see supportive fathers in fiction.

Bite Sized Archie #29 - A Proud Father
Run Date - 6/25/21

Panel 1 -
Veronica Lodge and Kevin Keller are just getting out of school.

VERONICA, excited to be out of school: Hey, Kevin! Mall tonight?

KEVIN, disappointed, slightly embarrassed: Ugh, I can’t! My dad’s back and he’s picking me up!

Panel 2

VERONICA, delighted by this news that Kevin’s dad is around: Oh, that’s great! Daddy always just sends a car for me!

KEVIN, slightly frustrated: You don’t understand, Veronica! He’s so over the top.

Panel 3

VERONICA, curious: How bad could it be?

KEVIN, facepalming from embarrassment: Oh gosh! He’s here!

Panel 4 - Kevin’s father has arrived. A rugged, graying, handsome, older military man in camo or fatigues. He’s wearing sunglasses and a military jacket, triumphantly standing on the top of an old Sherman tank that just rolled into the Riverdale High parking lot.

The tank has a bunch of stickers on the side, near the top: a rainbow flag, “PROUD FATHER OF A RIVERDALE HIGH HONORS STUDENT”, “I LOVE MY GAY SON KEVIN KELLER” He’s in the parking lot and his arrival has caused a bit of destruction and ruckus. The rest of the students are on the steps looking in amazement.

KEVIN’S DAD, excited to see his son and be in town for the day. He has SPARKLES and SHINING LIGHTS around him: MY BOY, MY WONDERFUL SON! LET’S ROLL!

Here's a close-up of Kevin's dad's tank so you can read the bumper stickers.

A cartoon illustration of a man driving a tank to school to pick up his son. the bumper stickers say say "proud father of a riverdale high honors student" and "i love my gay son kevin keller"
