Normally, I’d be in San Diego this week for Comic-Con International. But because of Covid-19, the con is strictly digital and therefore open to everyone. Check it out!
Comic-Con Digital Panels July 22-26.
I’m doing my own little celebration of comics this week. We start out today with some jungle comics fun. More genres to follow during the week!
Art by Jack Kamen? from Jo-Jo Congo King #28, June 1949.
Transcript:

Don’t worry, M’dear. When I’m finished, I’ll get you the rest of the way.
According to Wikipedia Jo Jo has only one more issue to wrap up any tag ends of any plot lines. The comic was for fans titillated (love that word) by soft-core bondage porn???
Per Wikipedia:
Jo-Jo’s love interest in the first issue was Gwenna; she was replaced (never to be mentioned again) by Tanee.[2] Both Gwenna and Tanee shared two things in common: they were scantily clad, and they spent much of their time tied up.
Interesting. I haven’t actually read Jo-Jo. (I’ve pretty much just looked at the cover art—at least so far.) But, yeah, the female companions on the covers do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time tied up and/or waiting to be rescued!
And there’s enough for both of you!
