Midge Klump (also spelled "Clump"[1]) is a fictional character from Archie Comics. She is a friend of Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge. Midge is also the girlfriend of Moose Mason, although Reggie Mantle is also known to be in love with her. However, Midge usually sets Reggie up to be beaten up by Moose when he flirts with her. (Occasionally Midge herself loses patience with Reggie; Reggie shows up with a black eye or other evidence of having been clobbered. Moose sees this and denies attacking Reggie--it turns out Midge did it!) The character of Midge was designed by Dan DeCarlo and bears an uncanny resemblance to pin-ups he did for men's magazines just before he started working for Archie Comics. Although Moose is deeply protective of Midge, she is occasionally annoyed by his violent jealousy and dislikes being avoided by all of Riverdale's boys because of this. However, because of Moose's possessiveness over her, she has a "forbidden fruit" appeal to her that many of the boys in Riverdale find irresistible. Despite her aggravation with Moose's overprotection of her, whenever another girl shows interest in Moose she reacts with the same jealousy. It was revealed in a late eighties/early nineties that Midge's parents were getting divorced. Originally, she blamed herself, but Betty convinced her otherwise. In an episode of "Archie's Weird Mysteries", Midge revealed that she wants to be a stuntwoman.
