Archie won’t say if he was the model for this cover. I know he spent time hanging with Ray Bradbury in the 50s, as well as Philip K. Dick and Theodore Sturgeon. But when Heinlein got weird in the early 60s he walked away from the SF scene. Still, this issue was quite a find. It features an early Phil Dick take on an idea, Do Metal Puppies Dream of Electric Squirrels. (This piece, full credit to the original Astounding Science Fiction cover by Van Dongen).
