I couldn’t find anything in my archive that quite fit what I wanted to do with this gag, (The woman with the gun was perfect, but the guy in the original image looked just a little too smug.) So I took portions of two panels from different stories and put them together. See below.
Pencils by Alice Kirkpatrick from the story “I Played with Fire” in Diary Loves #8, 1951.
Art by Charles Nicholas & Vince Alascia from the story “One Too Many Heartbreaks” in FIRST KISS #39, 1964.
