When Chuck Clayton, cartoonist, goes to comic book conventions there are invariably references to real-life Archie artists. In Archie’s Pals ’n’ Gals #197, when Chuck drags his girlfriend Nancy to the Centerville Comic Convention, he gushes “Oh wow! There’s Dan DeCarlo who draws Josie and the Pussycats!… and he’s with fellow artist Stan Goldberg!” Archie editor Victor Gorelick critiques Chuck’s drawings; there’s a huge Archie banner behind him, which Chuck and Nancy don’t seem to notice bears a likeness of their high school classmate. A more obscure reference is when Chuck thinks a woman with a camera is going to take his picture, only to have her rush past him calling “Oh, John! John Lucas!” John Sterling Lucas was an artist who contributed to the Katy Keene revival of the 1980s.
