That dude in the last panel is totally showboating to impress that woman.


That face in the second panel looks very familiar to me, for some reason. No, no, not because I used to hang with guy…I’m just suspecting there was some photo-referencing going on.

Anyway, thank you for enjoying Charlton Comics week…sort of an unannounced Low Content Mode for the site, I realize, but I needed a brief bit of time off. Back to normal next week…I hope!

  1. I was absolutely sure that the page would end with a mail-away coupon to buy said ring. ‘Impress your friends! Kill Contessas!’

  2. “The owner of this flawless ring no longer needs it”…because my men skinned him alive and placed his exposed body inside a mound of fire ants…”You alone deserve it’s beauty.”

    What a romantic Conquistador!

  3. And the man in the fourth panel could be a young Louis Pasteur. So the man in the second panel is probably also a historical figure rather than an actor.

  4. Holy cripes. They hyphenated ‘needle’ as ‘need-le’. that’s some high-level hyphenation!

  5. Hi Mike- love the site. I think the man might be Ernie Anderson- tv’s Ghoulardi- a horror host from the sixties.

  6. He looks like one of the Monty Phytons dressed up as the Spanish Inquisition.

    At least, to me…
