This is great! I think it was likely written after 1965, or at the earliest mid-late 1965. Why? There’s a reference to a gal Johnny loved and lost and whom he is brooding over–must be Crystal, who was introduced in FF #45, which was on sale around Sept. 1965. He “lost” her a few months later in #48 and brooded over her for several issues, and the write up makes it sound as if they were still separated. ( Their separation lasted until #63, on sale in March 1967).
Also, Alicia is referred to here as “Alicia Masters, ” but she didn’t get a surname until FF #49 (on sale Jan. 1966…though a reader had suggested “Masters” as a fitting surname a few issues earlier in the FF letter column). I’d guess this is a character dossier for the 1967 FF Saturday morning cartoon.
