Archie spent much of the early post war years drawing pin-ups but in the 1960s and 1970s turned his artistic talents to greeting cards which could be seen in the greeting card shops across the United Kingdom at the time - having adopted the signature "Gluckli" as the increasingly well-known identiying mark to Dickens" obvious Archie style. In March 2002 Tony Blair, the then British Prime Minister, wore a Paul Smith designer shirt that displayed one of Dickens" paintings on the cuff.
