A Cartoonist in the Family
My dad used to tell me about a Scarpelli that was a cartoonist. He showed me a newspaper clipping of a comic strip where the cartoonist's name was signed 'Scarpelli'. Years later I found out that the Archie comics were by this same person. A few months back I decided to find him on the internet and write to him. Here is a scan of the drawing he sent to me.
It is interesting to note that Henry Scarpelli's son is Glenn Scarpelli, the former teen actor from "One Day at a Time".
