Giggle Comics began with a cover date of August 1943 and was published by American Comics Group. The series would last 99 issues, ending in February 1955 and being renamed Spencer Spook (kind of a Casper/Spooky hodgepodge character) starting with issue 100. That series would continue for 2 issues, ending with issue 101.
One of the features in Giggle was Superkatt. Superkatt, from what I can tell, began in Giggle Comics #9 and continued to appear until issue 77 in 1951. I don't quite get Superkatt's deal except he wears a baby bonnet, a giant bow, and a diaper. I guess he isn't litter box trained. Anyway, this Thanksgiving Superkatt story was published in Giggle #36, December 1946. Just skimming through some issues, if you like racist caricatures, then this is your series. This story was written, drawn, and lettered by Dan Gordon.
Also, didn't that boy on the stairs in the first panel above throw a brick at Superkatt?
"Premachoor".
Meat a dog loves to eat? You mean shredded newspaper and chicken byproduct?
The plight of turkeys during Thanksgiving is exactly the same as slaves in the United States. Exactly the same. Don't question it. Exactly the same.
This man is just trying to make a living. Leave him alone.
Poor man is just trying to make a living...
Slaves and Thanksgiving turkeys: Exactly the same.
There wasn't a sink or something you could've drowned him in? Just going to kick him out so he can continue to terrorize the neighborhood?
Wait a minute. Turkeys can't fly. Even if these are wild turkeys, they can only fly for short distances. There's an entire episode of WKRP In Cincinnati about it.
He should brush up on his landings. Cats should land on their feet. Maybe the diaper got in the way or something.
You set the turkeys free! You're the reason you're going to get a beating.
Yet Superkatt doesn't seem to care that the lamb that leg used to belong to went through the same thing. I guess if you can't converse with the animal, it doesn't matter.
Just gonna leave that leg of lamb on the ground?
Somehow I feel this name is much more racist than just calling her Mammie Jefferson or something.
Like many of these subpar Golden Age comic book stories, I feel this story should be over by now. At least it's not Funnyman.
So now we're going to eat a leg of lamb that's been coated in dirty turkey feathers?
I hate to say it but that's a decent likeness.
I love the fake head flying off.
BWAA! Where'd that sheep come from?!
The black sheep's name is Midnight?
Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to, Midnight.
Well, this did not end the way I thought it would. If you were hoping to see Humphrey and Superkatt sitting at the table with Petunia eating their leg of lamb turkey or even Petunia beating the crap out of Superkatt because lamb and turkey do not taste the same, then I am sorry to disappoint you.
Yeah, Superkatt definitely looks like someone I'd want to help me with something. I don't know what instills more trust--the bonnet, bow, or diaper.
Exactly the same.
This is how annoying most vegetarian and vegan people are online.
Although, again, leaving something important as bringing home a turkey for Thanksgiving up to a cat seems like a bad idea.
Petunia looks way too happy to be slaughtering a turkey.
That's some good egg placement, I tell you hwhat.
Dan Gordon really knew what he was doing with that egg placement.
What time is it? Petunia has to kill, pluck, and still cook the turkey and it seems like hours have gone by since this story started.
"Yeah, yeah. Indigestion. He won't be thinking of that when he's missing his head."
This panel is perfect. No notes.
The sheep were going to beat up Superkatt? Superkatt? Who's dressed like that so there's clearly something developmentally wrong with him?
In Superkatt's defense, that lamb was already dead so...
What happened to that kid at the beginning of the story?
