I think his story-telling is somewhat “neo-Archie” as well. It’s fairly light-hearted and breezy, with a feeling of fun to it. The college setting is close enough to the Riverdale milieu for some similarities (e.g. a young man trying to decide which girl to see). But there’s also serious characterisation to it, beyond the standard archietypes.
