You know Archy the cockroach from all those old Scholastic books about 'Insects Do the Strangest Things' where they were desperate to think of a famous cockroach to name check. Archy and his pal Mehitabel, the slutty cat, were characters created by newspaper columnist Don Marquis in 1906.  Many collections of Archy and Mehitabel stories were illustrated by George Herriman, the creator of Krazy Kat. And that's enough excuse to watch the very 70s Archy and Mehitabel adaptation, Shinbone Alley!
