A Feline Feast!
The cats are runnin' wild today at AEET, and if you saw the current purrin' post over at THOIA (HERE!) then you might just call this a criss-cross-over double feature! You know, like Peter Criss, aka The Catman of Kiss...??? Uhhh, okay, that was a stretch even for a hairball-brained introduction such as this. So just ignore me and please, curl up somewhere cozy whilst diggin' your claws into this 2 page, fancy feast quickie from the May 1975 issue of Weird Mystery Tales #18.
Hey that was pretty neat. It was fun seeing how they were going to get around to the inevitable end. I particularly appreciated the story dropping, here and there, into the cats' POV. Plus, while the art has a jocular, tween-friendly feel, that final panel is the real deal. It's all pretty par for the course in something like Weird Mystery, but it would have sopped hearts if it had appeared just like this in Pizzazz or whatever.
ReplyDeletePredictable but fun. I wouldn't even call myself a cat lover, but I think they earned their meal. Probably did the neighbors a favor.
ReplyDeleteI like to think the cats ate him and then taped the skeleton together and put the beer can back in the hand for one more good laugh!
