More Strips from the Past: Archie
Posted by maggie

Bob Montana wrote and drew the Archie newspaper strip from 1947 until his death in 1975. Bob Cowan's posting of Sunday originals from the 1950s credits Jeffrey Cuddy Jr. as ghosting for Montana during that period, and the style on these strips from 1965 looks the same.

(I will note that Don and I found the strip suddenly much changed in script and art following Montana's sudden death, so I'm not sure about the extent to which Cuddy handled the feature.) In any case, the strip was Montana's responsibility at this point, and we always found it (1) beautifully drawn and (2) funny.
