When I got my first newspaper job, I was not only a reporter. I was also a photographer.
For me, darkroom work was tedious. It took hours. And hours. And sometimes more hours to get things the way I wanted them. (And sometimes not even then!)
Plus, I usually did it in the evening—too busy during the day!—when all I wanted was to go home.
And then there was the time I got chemicals in one of my eyes! Arggh!!!
So I was happy to get out of photography when I started doing comics. Of course, I now spend hours and hours every week working in Photoshop. But, hey! No icky chemicals—so I’m happy!

Someday soon? The poor groom can only hope!
Art by Vince Colletta from the story “Involuntary Bride” in FIRST KISS #40, 1965.
If you’re wondering about the bizarre color, the whole page of the printed comic is this way. It wasn’t unusual for Charlton comics to be printed with colors out of register. Colors were frequently misaligned. But to print with an entire color plate missing? That was rare—even for Charlton!
