Miss Geraldine Grundy is a fictional character of the Archie Comics series. In the comics, she is the homeroom teacher at Riverdale High School, occasionally teaching English as well. The character is often referred to as an archetype of the prudish and conventional. Before she became a teacher she was working for the Pickle Factory as a factory worker.
Despite occasional grumblings from her students, they seem to genuinely like and admire her. She in return tends to drive them hard, pushing Archie Andrews and Moose Mason in particular, but remains quite fond of her students.
In at least one story, Miss Grundy's first name is said to be "Grisensnable". Nevertheless, "Geraldine" remains the commonly accepted one.
In older stories, she was bald and wore a white wig, which fell off frequently, embarassing her greatly. However, this has not been referenced for a long time and it can be assumed that this idea was nixed and that she has real hair.
