[...] tackling political debates, as with this 1971 story about draft-dodging or this sillier piece about shorts not being appropriate for being seen in public. It’s nice to see them continuing that tradition [...]

James: It's Mr. Lodge. I think you're confusing Veronica Lodge with Veronica Lake.

I watch the show, but I wouldn’t call it a favorite — I like best the milieu and props and costumes. I’m curious to see what they do with Peggy. (I haven’t seen any of season 2 yet.) I can sympathize with her frustration over being treated like an accessory in a “man’s job”.

I buy these throughout the year for Christmas stocking stuffers – and for the
occasional appearance of these gems.

I suppose there’s no attribution so as not to date them ( other than bythe content), but it would be nice to see the creators given their due. There’s a grace and elegance in these works that stands out in the context of the newer work that surrouns them.

It’d be nice to see these period pieces reproduced at regular-comic size and collected. I was stunned to see a couple of what must be contemporary to the above Josie stories that didn’t include Valerie or Alan M. – I didn’t realze there was a Josie before the Pussycats -
featuring an interesting character name of Pepper.

All this has be wondering what you think of MAD MEN, Peggy is particular, Joanna.

Mr. Lodge = capitalist pig oppressor.

Let the legs fly free, regardless of district demarcation.

I would think he’d be a bit more concerned with them wearing tops that left little to the imagination.

Check out Betty in that last panel on page one. It looks like the shirt is painted on. Hmm maybe Mr. Lake is too cheap to run the AC in his car?

I wonder if you’ll find one that has Betty & Veronica in miniskirts next?:)
