JGR Freaky Friday: Sultry Wartime Bad Girl versions of Betty & Veronica

Here is a JGR Freaky Friday presentation of a very different Betty & Veronica. It’s eight pages from what I think is Archie issue #27 - but don’t quote me on that. How cool is this Irv Novick’s World War II era Betty & Veronica!!

This rendition of Archie’s best gals comes off much less innocent than the later Betty & Veronica that most of us know. Please enjoy Roboteers!!

Here’s a quote from where I discovered these images:

I posted the splash page from this highly atypical 1947 story featuring Archie’s girls. BETTY & VERONICA, on Facebook the other day to wild acclaim and interest due to its amazingly different art style. Dan DeCarlo’s classic B&V style has been used for decades and, in fact, was a variation on the Archie “house style” that came even before DeCarlo! Thus, there is a certain level of shock in seeing our 16 year old heroines out of context in an Archie-less story (but for the wall picture on page one) and looking more like WWII pin-up models! The jury is still out on who did the art here but Steven Rowe, an expert on these sorts of things, speculates that it may be future Batman artist Irv Novick who had been drawing superheroes for the MLJ line (Archie’s precursor if you will) or perhaps Harry Sahle. It’s very GOOD art…it just isn’t Betty and Veronica as we know and love them!

It’s time to get freaky, see my other questionable Freaky Friday posts here.

Phone Answering Robot

Built in 1964, back when we as a society seemed to share a collective fascination with robots that would do our household chores, this phone-answering robot was not nearly as functional as it might look at first. Its abilities were limited to picking up the phone…and putting the phone back down. It couldn’t act as a message recorder or even a message player, but it sure did look cool.
