Ginger

    (Archie, 1951-1954)
™ and ©1954 Archie Publications

Ginger is a minor figure in the Archie pantheon of teen-humor characters. Ginger, “America’s typical teen-age girl,” is an airheaded flirt who is predictably clueless about the effects her girlish charms have on members of the (equally airheaded) opposite sex. Issues feature humor strips starring Ginger and her pals, running from one to eight pages, and drawn in the recognizable Archie house style.

Ginger inhabits the insular Archie world of high-school classrooms, soda fountains, and suburban living rooms, the battlegrounds where carefree adolescents square off against witlessly authoritarian (and perpetually frustrated) adults. Wholesome, predictable, and charming, Ginger epitomizes the appeal and limitations of the Archie franchise.
