To: a fool in paradise

That’s some heavy satire! By the masters themselves, Kurtzman & Elder. I was digging Little Annie Fannie at the time.

The “Starchie” lampoon was mild by comparison. The teens are smoking cigarettes and only mention alcohol. Their weapons are rubber band guns with a linoleum square, except for the Mercury sports coupe with the .50 cal pointed rearward. And Starchie ends up in the jug for life (presumably for the death of Wedgie). Even in a lampoon, crime does not pay.

The only violence in the real Archie comics came from the ever jealous Moose. Wonder how life was like later on for Moose & Midge?

That was from Goodman Goes PL*B*Y (the title). They have entered college and succumb to the vices of life (and disposable women). In the end, the Devil reveals himself (as Hugh Hefner) and all of the other cartoon characters sign up (with their souls) for the “good life”.

This predated Annie Fanny (not by much) and apparently Hefner didn’t hold a grudge.
