really loved that comic book and the cartoon on tv. Of all the comics I ever read, this was my favorite. Also your clerihew on them is one of my favorites on this winner list. Congrats on your win, Milt. And thanks for placing me in the couplets contest.

I agree. I should have written another stanza about Betty. In fact, I couldn't find her last name! (chuckling)

Agree, I couldn’t afford comics 60 yrs ago, but so enjoyed Archie and Veronica, I really wanted to escape into the thick double issues! Would still enjoy that now! Thanks for the memory!
