Martha StewTart…Domestic Superhero, Part 6

Below is the original art from “Forever and a Day”—the First Kiss story that served as the basis of most of my “Martha StewTart” story.

No original “Forever and a Day” art this time. I pulled art from another Charlton Comics story for this segment of “Martha Stewtart.”

But here’s some great bonus art—the “Martha StewTart in Prison” paper doll that Anne Timmons and I created back in 2003 for the fourth issue of my Last Kiss comic book.

Quite honestly, I never thought the real Martha was going to prison. It seemed too outlandish. So imagine my surprise when the issue came out the same week Martha Stewart was indicted!

I’m reprinting (bit-by-bit) the entire Charlton Comics story “Forever and a Day” that served as the basis for most of “Martha StewTart.” (See below)

In creating “Martha StewTart” I sometimes changed the order of the panels—and even added art from other stories-—as I did here.

For the sake of continuity, though, I’m presenting Charlton’s “Forever and a Day” in it’s original order.

PANEL 1: Worker during a storm rolling (or dumping) a leaking barrel.

BOB'S CAPTION: "Remember, Martha! Nuclear power is the safest, cleanest form of energy in history!"

WORKER (thinking): Gee! The fish are sure pretty when they turn pink like that! But...I wonder why they're all floating upside down?

PANEL 2: Martha watches as Bob leaves for work.

MARTHA'S CAPTION "I knew Bob was right! He was a scientist! And, as I watched my man go to work, I swelled with pride until I thought I'd burst! I gasped for breath! Could this be love...or did I just need a bigger bra?"

MARTHA: Hurry home, dear! We're having Tic Tacs for dessert!

PANEL 3: Martha swimming in a lake.

CAPTION: "I had a wonderful swim! It was as if there was something magical in the water! Every cell in my body tingled with energy! Suddenly, I knew...I could do anything!"

MARTHA: All those dead fish up ahead...I can't wait to saute them in garlic butter!
