Here's yet another of the gazillion or so Archie-like strips from 1940s and '50s comic books. This one offers up the smooth art of Bernard "Dib" Dibble, who at various times worked on many newspaper strips such as FRITZI RITZ, LOOEY DOT DOPE and THE CAPTAIN AND THE KIDS.
Mr. Fitzbilly's boiling point is even lower than Lewis Black's!
