Archie 1 "In the Bag"

A series of stories where everyone is running around in fur briefs and bikinis. Funny then that Dan Decarlo didn't draw more of them -- this instalment appears one of a small handful, so I kind of wonder how he was given the assignment on this one.

Here they had to thicken Veronica's cleavage line as they drew it further.

"Archie and His Gang in B.C.", Archie's Pal Jughead #68, January 1961

The first prehistoric Archie story was published in 1944. Closer to this featurette, another story was published in 1960. Prehistoric funny features were in the air: Johnny Hart's B.C. had debuted on February 17, 1958, and the Flintstones on September 30, 1960.

Archie One

Caveman dating rituals get civilized.

Searching for that panel, Betty coming on to Jughead, at "Bughead in the Comics", she seems to have skipped that one.

Filling in a 1/3 page promo copy, this story was cut short at its last page, and -- good place to fill in with a couple of dinosaurs.

From what I can tell, there is a stray Archie Caveman story in 1944. Another dream sequence comes in 1963. And with this here in 1968 -- it is the beginning of the move into a regular feature, slotted into one title or another on through the last edition of 'Everything's Archie' in 1991. And this here is not titled 'Archie 1' but 'Archie One', and is more explanatory in narrative than later, and with one contemporary to 1968 reference after another. So, yes, there are one hundred plus adventures of Archie as a Caveman.
