McClure Newspaper Syndicate — March 14, 1954
Printed Archie Sunday proof sheet by Bob Montana (1920–1975), produced for nationwide distribution by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate and published on March 14, 1954. Printed on thin, glossy paper with visible registration marks and crop guides, this piece is a newspaper Sunday insert / color supplement production page, not original art.
The strip follows Archie and the gang on a winter sleigh ride outing that devolves into classic Montana-era chaos, mixing slapstick, romantic tension, and ensemble humor. As a production artifact, the page preserves Montana’s finished compositions exactly as they were prepared for mid-century newspaper circulation during Archie’s peak early-1950s Sunday run.
