Bite Sized Archie is celebrating a major milestone. The web comic strip by writer Ron Cacace and artist Vincent Lovallo has produced its 200th installment. The title began four years ago with new episodes released on TinyView every Thursday. They currently have an audience of over two million readers.
“It’s so unreal that we’ve reached 200 strips of Bite Sized Archie,” said Lovallo, who also serves as Archie’s art director. “Ron and I have been working on this webcomic consistently for almost four years now and have never missed a week. In some ways, it’s been so automatic, like a routine or habit, so getting here happened before I even knew it!”
“I can’t thank the team at Archie enough for letting me get away with basically whatever I want, and for the Archie fans who allow us to present another different take on the Riverdale gang,” Cacace said.
Lovallo and Cacace launched the comic strip in 2020 featuring Archie’s classic storytelling style with modern memes, popular online crazes, viral tweets, and other aspects of online culture. Their four-panel strips have told stories about several funny characters with fan favorites like Spider and Scam Likely going on to appear in Archie’s main printed comics.
“It’s amazing to see how far both Ron and I have come in terms of dialogue and art. I’m forever grateful for the hard work and dedication Ron has. He’s as funny and witty in real life as he is on paper, and to be that brilliant on this series without missing a beat is so admirable. I couldn’t ask for a better friend and co-creator to be on this journey with!” Lovallo said.
“None of Bite Sized Archie would be possible without the relentless dedication of artist and co-creator Vincent Lovallo, who goes above and beyond what’s expected for a weekly social media comic,” Cacace added. “When I look back at where it began and how much we’ve all learned and changed throughout the course of this comic’s run, I’m astonished. Writing Bite Sized Archie and collaborating with Vincent has become the one constant in my life, the one thing I know is going to deliver a spark of joy and creativity and inspiration every week.”
The web comic strip has been collected in two print volumes.
