Once upon a time, two deadies, Bird-Head and Bird-Head (let's call them Lady Bird-Head and Dude Bird-Head, to keep things simple) fell in love. This was highly illegal, because Lady Bird-Head was a receptionist at the police station, while Dude Bird-Head was the deputy of police. In deadie society, it is highly illegal for the police receptionist and deputy of police to fall in love. For basically no reason.

Anyway, they fell in love against the law. Soon Lady Bird-Head was ready to have a child. So she left her job (temporarily) and went on her fifteen minute break to have the baby deadie.

Dude Bird-Head waited anxiously behind the police station for his wife. (They got married on another one of Lady Bird-Head's fifteen minute breaks.)

Soon, Lady Bird-Head arrived. "I brought our new son, Dude Bird-Head! I'm so proud of him. He's adorable."

Dude Bird-Head gasped and recoiled in horror as Lady Bird-Head pushed forward their son. He was short, with a human head and a robot body. He had eight gray legs, a short tail, and a green sprout coming out of the top of his head. He was the most terrifying deadie of all time.

"Uh...wow...he's extremely horrify--" Dude Bird-Head stopped at the expression on his wife's face. "Uh, horrifyingly cute! Yeah."

"What should we name him?" Lady Bird-Head asked.

A million names ran through Dude Bird-Head's tiny brain. 'The Gray Horror, or the Green Mutant,' he thought.

"How about Archie?" Lady Bird-Head suggested. The baby deadie was frothing violently, a violent glint in his blue eyes.

"Um...perfect!" Dude Bird-Head silently vowed to divorce Lady Bird-Head later so that they would never have a child so horrifying again.

And thus, Archie was born.
