Not Archie But Maybe He Was Based on This?

Take a look at the cover of this comic book and tell me who this reminds you of:

This isn't Archie and the Gang but when I go back through some of the old comics, sometimes I have to think maybe they inspired certain characters.

I mean this could be Archie and Betty and Veronica. Am I right?

Many of the cartoon characters you are familiar with could have easily been adapted from comic books that slipped into the public domain.

I'll bring you more of these as I come across them.
