Artist unknown. (I believe the story originally appeared in Bride’s Secrets #3, 1954. But full disclosure—I can’t find my copy to double check.)
↓ TranscriptSCENE: A woman is dressing--putting on a stocking--as a cat sits nearby and licks it's paw.
CAT (thinking): I thought dogs were colorblind, not humans. Purrrrrrple stockings, brown camisole, black skirt? How cat-a-strophicly gauche.

John Lustig at Comic-Con
Yippee! I’m attending this week’s San Diego Comic-Con after all.
Plus my friend Spencer Brinkerhoff III has graciously offered me space at his Booth #5560. (It’s a corner booth right by the doors between F & G Hall on the first floor–near Artist Alley.)
I’m bringing some Last Kiss goodies as well as a few of the Last Kiss, Marvel & Disney comics I’ve written. But my main reason for being there is to meet readers and fans. So, please come by and say, “Howdy!” –John Lustig
