Notes[]
- In the first Archie story in Pep Comics #22, the narration notes that Archie hates being called "Archie", and prefers to be called "Chick." This is ignored with the next story.
- A parody of Archie named Archer appears in Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder's story "Goodman Goes Playboy", which is also in the public domain.
