#Rudy Wrotten

Healthy-ish

Chuck is not doing so well in the high school boxing circuit, and Archie uncovers the reason why. Depending on which version you read, you can just call Chuck "Kid Candy". " Kid Energy Bar" doesn't have the same pejorative.

Easy enough to fix. But alas --!

Just what is Rudy Wrotten's game plan here?

Dude. It's just a high school boxing match. What, exactly, is the prize at the end of all these trained carrier pigeons, dog delivery services, and skulking outside the gym room on your rival school?

And here we see the reason that the premise of the story shifted from Chuck's addiction to candy bars to his addiction to energy bars.

It is a throwback to the doctors of old and their endorsements of one cigarette brand over another. But then, how does the new version play out health conscious-wise?

I guess it depends on what it is, these Chewy Dewys. But even supposing they aren't the brands that really aren't anything but candy bars -- dipped in chocolate! -- and maneuer away from sugar, it can't be good to eat as many as we're Chuck eat here -- and out of the mouths of birds! -- if the concern is his four full meals a day. Though, strictly speaking, I don't know what level of athlete one has to get to before the dietary requirements become unreal.
