Mr. Tuttle

Meet Mr. Tuttle, a Silver Age supporting player who stepped onto the page in 1963 courtesy of the legendary Frank Doyle and Dan DeCarlo in She's Josie #4 — right at the dawn of Archie Comics' beloved Josie universe. Over a surprisingly durable stretch spanning some 35 years, he turns up across digest favorites like Laugh Comics Digest and Archie's Pals 'n' Gals Double Digest, keeping lively company with Josie McCoy, Melody Valentine, Alexander Cabot III, and even Archie Andrews himself. He may be a small corner of the Archie cosmos, but with a key-issue appearance to his name and that kind of staying power, Mr. Tuttle is exactly the sort of quietly persistent character that makes digging through Silver Age digests such a rewarding treasure hunt.
