I used to see ads for 'Archie's Weird Mysteries' on Teletoon all the time. It was obviously based on the comics, so I'm guessing the people who watch the show are the same people buying the comics.
EDIT:: I don't know how reliable it is, but this site claims that Archie has 1.25 Million monthly readers.

Yeah I was about to mention the Archie cartoon. It came on too early to ever watch. I only ever liked Sabrina.

"recognized by an astonishing ninety-eight percent of surveyed teens and adults"
I think we can pretty much write it off.

Apparently at one point teeny-bopper comedy comics outsold Superhero comics by a long shot and every major publisher had at least one title in the genre. I think the final death knell for the genre was when the lead of Marvel's Archie-analog title "Patsy Walker" became the mutant Hellcat in the mid-seventies. Archie is pretty much the lone straggler of an otherwise dead race.

the teen drama with a dash of goofyness or fantasy thing is done all the fricking time in manga and indy books. perhaps these things are cutting into archie's market

That is true. That stuff never died in Japan and some of it is fun. And even as bad as teen girl manga can be, it looks pretty good in relation to Archie--there are few things as painful to read.
