Archie's Generic Celebrities Month, Day 18: Not Actually Fin Fang Foom

THIS IS NOT FIN FANG FOOM:

THIS IS FIN FANG FOOM.

Know the difference: Fin Fang Foom is a giant monster in color-matching underpants.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.

    Look, I've been reading comics my whole life. I can suspend my disbelief to enjoy a story about a winged dragon-thing and even rationalize away the apparently open-air space scooter. What I can't accept is that dragon-thing speaking, breathing fire, and snorting steam from its nostrils all at the same time. Come on, Archie.
