Divorce American Style SICK "Divorce, of Course!"

Ending a Marriage Can Be a Grim Experience!

...so let's lighten the mood with a bit of humor, specifically, parody!

Last year, we presented a month of comic stories about "Love Advisors" including real-life radio show host Mr Anthony...who actually had no qualifications whatsoever to counsel troubled lovers!

Well, he inspired imitators, some of whom made the transition from radio to TV!
This never-reprinted story, illustrated by the versatile Bob Powell, from Prize's MAD Magazine imitator Sick #3 (1960) is a parody of the entire counselor genre, not any particular inept advisor!

Divorce American-Style BEST LOVE "I Craved His Kisses!"

No, This Isn't a Romance on the Range Story...

...it's definitely Divorce American-Style, and just happens to start in the present-day West...specifically Las Vegas, home of "quckie divorces"!

Scripted by an unknown writer (but likely the book's editor, Stan Lee), penciled by Werner Roth & Bill Everett and inked by Everett, this story of divorcees, divorce lawyers, and...well...failed divorce (which means a rekindled, successful marriage) and another, likely, marriage...appeared in Timely's Best Love #36 (1950).

Prom Night: Dream or Nightmare? JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Jet Jaunt"

It's Prime Time for Prom time...Even If It's in the Future...as Seen from the 1950s!

(We didn't skip the 1950s, just moved it down the line)

But, in teen humor comic books (even set in the future), things never go smoothly!

 

OK, maybe it's just as well that we of the real 21st Century still don't have flying cars...

As you might have guessed, Archie artist Dan DeCarlo was the illustrator for this tale from Standard Comics' Jetta of the 21st Century #5 (1952), which was actually her first issue!

(Issues 1-4 were a romance comic called Today's Romance!)

Romance on the Range I MET A HANDSOME COWBOY Conclusion

It's All Come Down to This...

...the long-feuding Kilgores and Considines are now united against a common foe, who threatens the current generation of both families...

Let's rejoin the action as Martha Kilgore searches for the captured Slade Considine...

The final page was on the inside back cover of the comic, so it's in black & white, like the character intro above, which is from the inside front cover!

BTW, that final page would've been the final page of the paperback version of this project!

If you look at the pages, you can see how the panels were designed for this format, then cut-and-pasted into standard comic book format.
Each comic book page contains what would've been four pages of paperback comics!

Who says comics ain't educational?

Romance on the Range I MET A HANDSOME COWBOY Part 3

Their families hate each other.

Plus, there are others, with their own motives, involved.

Here's the scorecard...

The Kilgore women have figured out the situation and now move to resolve it, by unifying the long-feuding families against a common foe...

Horses are amazingly-perceptive creatures, as Martha will discover...

Tomorrow

Romance on the Range I MET A HANDSOME COWBOY Part 2

I'm Going to Let the Comic Itself Explain What's Going On...

...wow, that was convenient!

One minor point it left out was that Slade was ambushed!

It's interesting to note the women are the ones deducing and assessing what's going on, seeing through the men's schemes!

These ain't no helpless bimbos!
