Weekend Edition Sunday, February 1, 2004 · Sid Couchey was a "factory artist" in the 1950s.

Though he didn't create the characters, Couchey's pencil work for Harvey Comics included scads of drawings that made Richie Rich and Little Lotta famous.

Couchey, now living in upstate New York, takes a look back at his career with Brian Mann of North Country Public Radio.
