Was Dan DeCarlo Influenced by Bettie Page ? Veronica is a Bettie

The visually acuity team here at Dull Tool Dim Bulb finds proof the 1950s comics were as bad as Kefauver and his confederates thought.  Veronica is BETTIE. Page, to be exact.   Here Dan DeCarlo (of Archie Fame) bases a gag drawing on America's favorite fetish model!   The Bettie page photo is from a stereoslide of the model which circulated in the late 1950s.  DeCarlo reportedly first freelanced for Archie Comics in the late 1950s.  Betty and Veronica were created before DeCarlo took over the drawing duties, but certainly he was looking at some smut during his off hours.
