snyder thanks for the link for comics site. I was scrolling through (looking for the recipes) and noticed the ads, particularly the one for the camera with flash cubes that takes 12 B&W photos. I remember those cameras! Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

I believe David Holmes was/is the elusive teenage heart throb from the 80’s (?). He was in tiger beat and a pea (?) had his poster on their wall I think. Anyhow they were trying to find him and so far no one has. I think that is the basic story, although there maybe some corrections or additions to it. Hopefully someone can give some better crib notes to the back story. 😆
Thanks to disneypal (the next post) for the real story. Read below. 😄

What is the backstory on David Holmes? I'm missing that. On the the old pea board, someone posted that they were going through old Tiger Beat magazines and David Holmes was in them quite a bit and asked who he was an if anyone remembered him. No one knew who he was so there was a quest to find out more info about him. Lots of searching and trying to find out who he was and where he is now.
Ultimately, he was set to star in a series in the 1970s and a pilot was made but never made it to air and that was the end of his show business career. I guess Tiger Beat was pushing him as the next big thing but then when the show never aired, his fame never took off.
Here is a LINK to a David Holmes thread

Tonight! Turkey pot pie took too long to cook last night, and I was lazy afterwards. I promise to report back ERA. Made them, they were really good, different then I remember, but still really good, Soft, fluffy, buttery. ! Awesome!

This is exactly what makes this place Hotel California. Just when you think you can't stay another moment, WHAMO!, someone needs a recipe from an old Archie comic book and someone else pops right up with it.

Glad you found the recipe! Am I making this up - I think someone DID find David Holmes? IIRC he ended up being a pretty regular guy the studios were trying to making into a star but he never took off. I swear I remember this. And he's alive and well somewhere living a regular life. chlerbie?

RE: David Holmes I sell magazine pinups and clippings and came across all of these ones on David Holmes, who I'd never heard of. I asked the Peas for some assistance and no one else had ever heard of him. I think ultimately Sarah*H is correct--a good looking young guy that the magazines were trying to make a star, but he never panned out. I still laugh every time I get a magazine and he's in it. And I've actually sold quite a few things on him.

I love this place. It looks like it took less than two hours for a pea (way to go snyder !!) to find the Archie recipe that you’ve been hunting for forever. That’s amazing. Nothing short of a-fricking-mazing.
