Volume 31, Number 23 Thursday, June 18, 2015 STRONG, SMART & BEAUTIFUL John Lucas Has Played Key Role in Katy Keene Phenomenon by Connie Kuzydym

nce upon a time, a 7-year-old boy Oin Michigan City named John Lucas loved to draw. It didn’t matter if he was drawing on typing pa- per or blank pages inside of books. All he wanted to do was draw. And so, the story begins with Lucas being the typical younger brother who enjoyed annoying his older sister and her friends when they came over. One evening, his sister had a slumber party. One girl brought a stack of comic books, knowing Lucas loved them. She told him he could look at them if he promised not to pester them. He agreed. In that stack were Casper, Superman and the one that would steal his heart forever. Katy Keene. “When I fi rst saw her, I went, ‘Who is this?’” Lucas said. “I thought she was beautiful.” This summer, Katy Keene celebrates her 70th anniver- sary.

His training was in landscapes and portraits. Upon graduating, he began his career do- ing numerous art shows, then transitioned to art director for various commercial companies such as Taylor-Chalmers, Bick Advertising and Odegard Advertising. In his spare time, he used his artistic abilities to help various non-profi ts. One day after gradu- ating from college, Lu- cas and his sister were reminiscing about Katy Keene and Woggon. Through his sister’s encouragement, Lucas placed a call to Wog- gon. From that call, a friendship was born, a life was changed. By the late 1970s, there was a revival when Katy Keene com- ic book covers were used as a backdrop for the window displays Cartoonist and Katy Keene at Saks Fifth Avenue creator Bill Woggon. by buyer and fashion coordinator Marilise Flusser. The response was so positive, Flusser wanted to publish a book. She began by contacting some of the favorite fan designers. One of them was Craig Leavitt, who had be- come an interior and furniture designer. Finding out her fi rst child was on the way, she chose not to pursue her book idea. It was not long before Leavitt stepped in and the resurgence began with the Katy Keene Fan Magazine. Woggon recommended he con- tact Lucas to be one of One of the early Katy Keene designs. the artists working on the fan magazine. The magazine ran for four years from 1978 to 1982. Seeing the rising popularity, Archie Comics de- cided to roll out the Katy Keene Fan Club. Having seen Lucas’ work on the fan magazine, its head of marketing contacted him to design items such as T-shirts, buttons, sweatshirts and notepads.

What’sWhat Cooking by Jim LaRocco We are just a few days away from Father’s Day, so I want to take this opportunity to wish all the dads Happy Father’s Day. It is said anyone can be a father, but not everyone can be a dad. I think about my father every day. He passed away in 2005. He was my mentor, role model, business partner and best friend. Fathers, at least those of my Dad’s generation, ran houses that were not democracies. Their word was law, and there were no appeals or pardons from the punishment you received for your transgres- sions. You were held accountable, not coddled. The Joe LaRocco (No. 45) in the center with Abe Gibron (No. 47) next to him way it should be. in a team photo for Valparaiso University.

People came from all over the country to see how Through my father, I met presidents, governors, the league operated. It became the model for many members of congress and many star athletes of the leagues across the country. He also started teen day. We attended many Chicago Bears training clubs, the Senior Center and was active in politics camps at Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer. My father always took me to countless football and baseball games. Joe Yonto, another lifelong friend and former Michigan City resident, would of- ten get us tickets while he coached at Notre Dame. When I got older, I took my dad to Indianapolis twice a year to watch our favorite NBA team, the Boston Celtics, take on the Pacers. He would tell me the grass needs to be cut by the time he returned home. That meant now, not later. I never knew if he was going to circle the block to see if I got started or if I was still sitting around. I made sure when he told me to get started that I did. Not later, but right when I was told.

Some were so silly, I couldn’t believe he told them. Sometimes, I fi nd myself doing the same thing. Like father, like son, I suppose. A day doesn’t go by that someone doesn’t tell me I look like my father. It used to bother me, but now after all these years, it makes me smile. I just say thanks and add, “If I only had a nickel for every time I heard that.” I remember being 5 or 6 years old listening to my father making popcorn after I went to bed. I could smell it and hear it popping in the kitchen.

My father worked for my uncle on Aug. 5, 1979. He built it without a bond issue. John at LaRocco’s Rainbow Cleaners. It was paid for in cash. Quite an accomplishment, He was always singing some silly Italian song even back then. and whistling. He would sing songs like “Lazy I was fortunate to have the father I did.
