Dudley on ice


Dudley and friends return in a story of mistaken identity from Dudley #1, Nov.-Dec. 1949. Dudley was a short-lived series by Boody Rogers, competing for Archie readers. Rogers, whose work was usually off-the-wall or even totally bizarre, restrains himself in order to fit into that Archie style, but that just wasn't Boody's strong point. Oh well, the girls--at least one or two of them--are cute in Boody's inimitable style, picked up as Zack Mosley's assistant on Smilin' Jack.

The first story from Dudley #1 is here.

Just in! A candid portrait of Dudley and his gang! Milt and Mona's parents are gone for the weekend, so the teens hustle on over to the Magee house for a teenage makeout party. They decide to have a snack and do a little dancing before gettin' it on. You can tell by Mona's sly look at Dudley that tonight he'll finally get past first base and go all the way to third.
