Cat.... is the miscut top not a concern?

This book came on my radar when it was spotlighted among others in a piece about innuendo Archie covers, and now it's an INSTANT fave!

Has ALL the other innuendo covers beat(pun intended,i'm looking at you #16) by a mile imho. How did this slip past the code? Or maybe you just had to have a dirty mind to interpret more than whats on the surface

Turns out Archie was a very Christian publisher. I got around to asking him about 271, “pearl necklace” cover. He really had never thought about innuendo, and didn’t want to, such an innocent soul.
Perhaps just random luck?

Was this by any chance, Al Hartley, who helped broker the deal with (and drew) the Spire Christian Comics: https://comicsworthreading.com/2010/05/14/archies-christian-comics/

I can say for certain that Dan DeCarlo (who I am pretty sure did the cover for Betty and Me #55, though it's not credited, and created Sabrina and Josie and Cheryl Blossom) tried to get away with as much possible innuendo as he could. He spent a considerable time cartooning for Playboy as well.

He was still at it in the 90s:

He still had 'It'! Interesting discussion gents!
