pardon my lunch muscle tussle

Sure. Every boy needs to be involved in athletics. Gender preogative. On this score, nothing wrong with the ping pong team -- strengthens hand - eye coordination.

The forced arm twisting is apparently too much for the Little versions of the characters. Though, I guess the change is as important for how the story veers off, or perhaps merges into different Archie story elements. Little Jughead knocks out the star wrestler Fangs, leading Coach Kleats to think he's a great wrestler. On the mainline early 50s story, Coach Kleats just has Jughead on the boxing team because they need someone there -- against his will it ought be pointed out -- then thinks up a nonsensical ploy to psyche out the opposition -- who aren't around the school so how would they ever know anyways? The Little Archie version has Coach Kleats in a different illusion.

The wrestling ring for Riverdale Elementary School is insane. Funny thing, the mainline version does end with Jughead losing, getting knocked out, while Little Jughead accidentally wins through gimmickry.

I see little evidence of Riverdale High having a boxing program after the 1970s -- except off of my head one single page. It seems weird that there were a few boxing stories even in the 1970s. As for wrestling, the depiction here bares no relationship to scholastic wrestling programs -- lot of grappling toward the ground, and moves more into what developed for "sports entertainment" or mixed martial arts.

Notewothy in figuring out Dexter Taylor's approach is that the two stories do end on the same note and scene, kind of forced back to the same dialogue and punchline. Hellbent on keeping the end with the beginning, all details in the middle had to be changed -- because we aren't going to have the girls physically drag him in, Jughead tied up with a crude jock with a baseball bat hovering over him, boxing, or Jughead losing a match. It is interesting that Jughead's chilly detached dialogue and attitude could be interchanged still.

January 2023 - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

After staying two nights in Singapore reminiscing and recovering from the jetlag and inability to get much quality sleep on the flights from NY through Seoul, my next stop was Kuala Lumpur (KL).

This may come as a surprise, but I actually hate flying (coach lol). Whenever possible, I would much rather take the bus or the train, but flying gets me to places faster and more efficiently, so I tolerate it. Fortunately, taking the bus from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur is not only faster than flying (once you factor in security and that the KL airport is far from the city) but also cheaper on top of being a much more comfortable ride!

My aunt and uncle took me to a nearby park for a morning walk which was a nice break from the urban environment and fun watching the monkeys, iguanas, and turtles. I even was able to sneak in a workout since I saw some pull up bars! @swoei and Gene also took me to a really cool bar that is on a helipad with panoramic views of the city. And of course, some delicious hawker and homecooked food in between!

It was only a brief stay in KL since I mainly wanted to spend time with family and it seems that every time I've visited KL, it's only been for a few days and I see a little bit more of the city each time. I'll have to stay longer next time!
