LI’L JINX
Medium: Comic Books
Published by: Archie Comics
First Appeared: 1947
Creator: Joe Edwards
Not sure I ever met her, but I think she is my kind of gal.
Jinx represented the "high-spirited" end of the spectrum (with Iodine at the opposite end).
Jinx was about six or so years old, born on Halloween (just like Edwards's own son). Her best friend was a boy named Charley. She was the only child of Hap and Merry Holliday, who were typical of comic book parents except for one thing. Hap was a comic book collector. No big point was ever made of the fact, but in one story, he pulled out some ancient back issues to show to Jinx.
Jinx's series continued for years, not just in the back pages of Pep but as fillers in other comics as well. She had her own title 1956-57, but after a half-dozen issues it was replaced.
