| | Powell's Books - The Pin-Up Art of Dan DeCarlo by Alex Chun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | Without a doubt, however, DeCarlo is best known for defining the look of every adolescent boy's wet dreams, Betty and Veronica, with their trademark upturned noses, tight sweaters, and barely-there mini-skirts. |
 | | Next to the innocence that was Riverdale, however, and unbeknownst to many, DeCarlo also populated another world, which he filled with cartoons featuring girls in lingerie (and sometimes less), and often bearing an uncanny resemblance to his perennial blonde next door and rich-bitch socialite. |
 | | DeCarlo's cheery caricatures seem out of place in the blatantly risqu world of dirty pictures, unable to match the erotic appeal of more illustrative pin-up artists. |
