"Randy" One Pager from TREASURE CHEST Vol. 28 No.1 October 1970



Here's a mystery: a one page comic titled "Randy," which looks to be from the Ketcham studio. It appeared in a 1970 issue of the Catholic-themed comic book TREASURE CHEST.

Who exactly drew this and why, I don't know. The gag is pretty generic. I know that "Randy" was an occasional series that appeared in TREASURE CHEST. I don't know if it ever graduated from one-pager fillers to whole stories. Looks like George Pflaum, who created the comic book, hired some of Ketcham's stable of artists to create this content. Ketcham had a good number who were busy with the extensive DENNIS THE MENACE comic books. A few pages for TREASURE CHEST must have been added to their load. At least, that's my guess.

  1. Looks like Frank Hill did some work for Treasure Chest. He, of course, worked with Hank Ketcham and Lee Holley. Hill's facebook page has a Randy sample:
