Josie and the Pussycats
All-girl pop group from the 1970-1972 animated TV show of the same name and the 1972-1974 revamped version, Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space.
They first appeared in Archie comic books, getting their own series starting in December 1969, with Josie and the Pussycats #45. Josie had her own comic before the band: She's Josie #1-#16 (Feb. 1963-Oct. 1965); this changed to just Josie #17-#44 (Dec. 1965 - Oct. 1969).
Josie sang and played guitar, Melody played drums, and Valerie played tambourine and sang. You know, they got a remarkably full sound from just drums, guitar and tambourine. Wimpy Alexander Cabot III was their manager.
J and the Ps were originally created as comic book characters by Dan DeCarlo, and introduced in their own comic book, She's Josie in Feb. 1963. A live action movie version of the cartoon came out in 2001.
