The rules of drama mean that for every hero, there is a villain and for every monster, there is a giant robot with, like, a cannon in its chest or something. Maybe eyebeams? I lost my train of thought there, but the point is that even the most mundane Homer Simpson in fiction has a Ned Flanders archnemesis to drive them crazy. Superman’s alien might is opposed by Luthor’s human intellect and utter ruthlessness, Batman’s logic is opposed by The Joker’s madness and even Spider-Man has Doctor Octopus as his greatest foe. (Don’t @ me, Venom and Goblin fans.) This leads us to today’s oppositional query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) would probably want someone who is incredibly lazy and unmotivated, so that they wouldn’t come get me, so I’m going with 80s Jughead Jones, asking: What fictional character would you choose to be your archnemesis?

It has to be someone utterly incompetent and nonthreatening, lets say Jon Arbuckle from Garfield.
