Love in the Time of Covid-19 CAREER GIRL ROMANCES "A Kiss is Merely a Biological Phenomenon"

This tale has only a peripheral connection to disease...
...but I felt an intense need to lighten the mood this week.
And the title is a real grabber!
Think of this as the lighthearted version of the rather serious story we recently presented HERE and HERE!
This never-reprinted tale from Charlton's Career Girl Romances #49 (1969) is a real mashup of artistic styles.
Dick Giordano seems to be the primary artist, with sections repenciled/reinked by Jim Aparo, Monte Baches, and Charles Nicholas!

TIFFANY SINN "To Save an Agent"

Career Girl Romances featured secretaries, nurses, models, waitresses...
...and, briefly, a secret agent!
Hey. it was the 1960s, and working for the CIA is a career!
It doesn't look like Rex made good on his promise!
The cad!
I don't have the second story to refer to, and the last tale Tiffany tale (which we ran HERE) only mentions him in a flashback and makes no reference to Tiffany and he being married.
(The fact she's still Tiffany Sinn, and not Tiffany Swift from an era when wives almost always took their husband's name is a tip-off.)
Written by Gary Friedrich, penciled by Charles Nicholas, and (probably) inked by Vince Alascia, this premiere tale from Charlton's Career Girl Romances #38 (1967) was a real change of pace for the rather sedate comic!
Tiffany appeared as the lead feature in the next issue...then disappeared!
Her next (and last) story after that was in the one-shot Secret Agent #10 (1967), with a new creative team and the possibility of more adventures.
BTW, thanks to Jacque Nodell, writer of the superb romance comics blog Sequental Crush, for doing a kool, informative post about Career Girl Romances, prompting me to do this entry!
Next week:
We haven't decided yet what it'll be, but we can guarantee that...
You'll Cry Your Eyes Out if You Miss It!
