The cool things one learns on DU!
A dear friend of mine is VP of sales at IDW and a collector of original comic rt. Over the years he has manafed to lay his hands on several original pages of Dan DeCarlo's work, primarily from Betty & Veronica. Gads, Dan's work was so clean and lovely. NEVER a line misplaced on the original pencils.
Gilbert Rodriguez once told me that he and Jaime used to hang out at Dan and Josie's house all the time when they were teenagers. They were aspiring artists and this living legend DeCarlo, whose work they both loved, was in the next SoCal suburb over. They'd go and watch him draw and pick up art tips from him. He also said Dan had literally hundreds of pages of pinup/Playboy pages of B&V that he had drawn for fun. (Dan did tons of girlie and other cartoons for an Army paper during his WWII stretch in the service). He used to pass them out to artist visitors.
