Pretty amusing stuff (the other 2 issues are also good). Sort of a parody of beatniks, hipsters, etc., mixed with Archie-like shenanigans.
Kind of ironic: this was a continuation of Prize's "Black Magic" comic. Talk about a change of pace!
Apparently "Cool Cat" was also a daily newspaper comic strip for a couple of years. |
