Josie in "Special Date"

Hostess advertised in all of the comics, not just superhero titles. This is an ad from Archie #254 with Josie (of Josie and the Pussycats fame)

I too place more value on fruit pies than my boyfriend.

I remember this ad!

Alan seems to be a cat that likes his pies.

Me too!

I always kinda thought Alan was vaguely mentally impaired -- and also that the Cabot siblings had some disturbing incestuous vibes goin' on.

And yet he calls Josie 'special.'


Alan does seem to be a bit short sighted in going for the instant gratification bribe from Josie. If he'd chosen Alexandra, he could probably have gotten her father to flat out buy him the Hostess factory and had all the fruit pies he wanted.

She's a groovy bird for knowing her real fruit filling!
