Weird how Schomburg totally ignored scale on many of these Where's Waldo covers. There's not really a giant Torch in the story, is there? How big is Toro supposed to be?

Pep 23. Second appearance of Archie

 

I think it's amazing that Archie first appeared in a superhero comic. Here's a question for those who are knowledgeable about these things: was Archie the first of his type (teenage humor figure)? Or were there predecessors?

 

Archie wasn't even the first teen humor strip from MLJ. That distinction goes to Wilbur who debuted in Zip #18 a couple of months before Pep #22 was published. The popular teen humor newspaper comic strip Harold Teen began in 1919, so predates Archie by quite some time.

 

Thanks for the info.

Toro looks like he's in correct proportion to the mad scientists. The Torch, on the other hand, looks like he may be a case of: old habits die hard. This cover is from '46? It could just be a stylistic hold-over from the war.
