I’ve done this joke before, but I wasn’t really happy with it. Back then I used a cropped version of the first panel of art below. But I thought the art was too cluttered, not terribly attractive and that it distracted from the joke.
Art by Vince Colletta Studio from the story “Dream Along with Me” in FIRST KISS #32, 1963.
