Indexer Notes

Judging from the style of clothing and the four-panel continuity, this is probably a reprint of two late fifties to early sixties era Archie syndicated newspaper strips.

Indexer Notes

The script for this story is a partial remake of the story "Speed Deed" from Betty and Veronica # 126, also by Gladir and DeCarlo. In that story, the girls and boys took up model car racing; here that's replaced by video games.
