Cookie O'Toole, and his subsequent, teenage universe; was created in the wake of the mammoth popularity of the teen prototype, Archie Andrews.

Presented here are two samplings from Cookie No. 14, Aug.-Sept. 1948. It doesn't come much better than this.

Great stuff. So much perspective and volume in these drawings - yet still cartoony.
