Sponsorship the way you would do it
Archie Comics is a series of comic books featuring the fictional teenagers Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, Reggie Mantle and Forsythe "Jughead" Jones. Archie was conceived by John L. Goldwater who was influenced by the Andy Hardy movie series that starred Mickey Rooney. The strip was originally drawn by Bob Montana (who continued until his death in 1975), and written by Vic Bloom. Archie made his first appearance in issue 22 of Pep Comics in December 1941 to replace Madam Satan. In 60 years he still has not graduated from high school.
