Notes This comic was published in book form that same year by the paperback publisher Belmont Books, under the title "My Son the Teenager: A cartoon satire by a celebrated father who prefers anonymity." Archie's attempt to move into the paperback humor market did not work out, as there were no follow-up publications in this form for several years. The comic book version was one of two new potential comedy series launched by Archie Comics and artist Dan DeCarlo in 1963. The first title, "She's Josie," stuck around; "Seymour" survived only for one more comic ("More Seymour") before its cancellation.
