Ted Kearon was the artist of the robot 'Archie' and one of the main artists of the magazine Lion in the 1950s. The 'Archie' comic was created by Kearon and writer George Cowan under the title 'The Jungle Robot' in Lion in 1952. It then disappeared for four years, and returned in 1957, this time under the title 'Archie the Robot'. The new version ran for 17 years, until Lion stopped publication in 1974.
