It's a sort of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" forerunner, about an amateur scientist who finds two seeds that fell with a meteorite, and they grow into a man and woman, which leads to a love triangle and a sad ending.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-1993467993205791602016-02-26T07:52:05.266-06:002016-02-26T07:52:05.266-06:00Speaking of preoccupations, "Crawling Evil&qu...Speaking of preoccupations, "Crawling Evil" is also MISSING one. I've almost never seen so many close-ups of a little old lady character's chin without the story giving her a beard! Not seeing that can be rare enough OUTSIDE a horror story, let alone IN a horror story where she's a witch! (And it's one of those clichés I've never been fond of, so I even notice when it ISN'T there.)Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-35488666689820465312016-02-25T08:57:20.959-06:002016-02-25T08:57:20.959-06:00That first story is Fetish central, not just for t...That first story is Fetish central, not just for the crush fetish but the giant woman fetish and a sub-genre of the submissive fetish. They always say that fetishes are triggered by something you saw when you were young, and I bet this story manufactured a lot of those!<br /><br />It also contains that favorite bit for pre-code man-hating women -- they just haven't found the right man yet.<br /><br />The worms with the heads surrounding her on that one panel is a great panel!<br /><br />The second story: Gil, what an ass! Which kind of pulls these stories together, Lorna hates men, but Gil gives women a good reason to hate men!Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-36154387618748563832016-02-25T04:40:44.254-06:002016-02-25T04:40:44.254-06:00"I'll spit on them!" ...

I suspect it's really a hymnal. You know, I've read this story here three times now, and I love it every time. I think I just figured it out. It must have something to do with the multi-colored worms in that last panel, which looks for all the world like she's getting attacked by concession stand candy. I couldn't possibly love that more.Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-6020705006542337342016-02-24T12:22:30.947-06:002016-02-24T12:22:30.947-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mestierehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07469030153414408109noreply@blogger.com
