| I'm one of those weirdos who finds Alex Toth's comic pretty yet unreadable but this one comic is really good. Lots of clear silhouettes and even action.
I am binging on this series which is overall pretty amateur (Toth & Fred Kika excluded of course) though it has its moments with artists getting creative. |

Firstly, that is one of the most subliminally suggestive covers I have ever seen. Or is it just me?
Second, in the Toth story, he finds out that his girlfriend didn't hear him propose because she is deaf, and then proposes again in a perfectly normal conversation. Huh ? |

| Panther, I don't see the cover as suggestive, but until I examined it closely I completely missed that the foreground couple are supposed to be roller skating (hence the flying tie). Duh. |
