create alias archie -> archie_comics
deprecate archie

The wiki says we already have a duplicate tag for the comic, not sure why we have both but I think we should move them to the second tag which is non-ambiguous.

I guess the idea is that Archie Comics is the company (a la Marvel Comics) and Archie is the specific series, but I think unlike Marvel or DC there isn't quite enough crossover between the various titles to warrant an umbrella tag. As-is they're being used interchangeably.

Prior to the Down Boy!! (meme) tag they weren't being used interchangeably at all, Archie Comics was being used akin to tags like Boom! Studios and IDW Publishing (tagging their logo and tagging on official art - the later practice seeming silly to me).

There's also another meme under the search archie kiss which is currently untagged, plus a bunch of other misc redraws of their panels.

I tagged one of them, kiss-proof lipstick (meme), but how should the kissing one be called? It doesn't have a name at its source, so we'll have to think of one ourselves. I'm currently thinking "leg-sweeping smack", given the big SMACK! sound effect used for the kissing, but that use of smack seems outdated now...
