Midge Klump 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.
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. Despite her aggravation with Moose's overprotection of her, whenever another girl shows interest in Moose she reacts with the same jealousy.
The character of Midge was designed by Don DeCarlo and bears an uncanny resemblance to pin-ups he did for mens magazines just before he started working for Archie Comics.
Midge has a cousin named Flora Fortune, whom Moose knows. When Reggie sees Archie with Flora--who resembles Midge closely--he jumps to the wrong conclusion and quickly phones Moose, who is so angry he crushes the receiver in his bare hand! He hurries out to the place where Reggie said "Midge" and Archie were. The girl says, "Moose, how dare you interrupt our conversation?" He recognizes Flora, of course, and then proceeds to pay Reggie back for squealing on Archie.
It was revealed in an late eighties/early nineties that Midge's parents were getting divorced. Originally, she blamed herself, but Betty convinced her otherwise.
