Yup. We’re taking a short break on the Abby Amour storyline. Why? Well, I want to spend the rest of the month doing holiday gags.
But Abby will be back Jan. 6. And, hopefully she’ll be a little less dead by then!
Original Vintage Art & Text
Art by Frank Frazetta in the story “A Love of My Own” in Personal Love #24, 1953. Published by Eastern Color. Curious to see more? Click the link to read the entire vintage comic book.
The Abby Amour miniseries runs every Friday. Dialogue by Tony Isabella. If you’ve missed some episodes, no problem. You can catch them here:
↓ TranscriptCAPTION: Johnny Sacko finally gets Abby to the hospital, but...
NURSE LEANING: She’s critical! It isn’t just the food poisoning!
NURSE LEANING: She was exposed to that creep’s awful cologne!
NURSE STANDING: I’ve called in toxicology...
NURSE STANDING: ...but it may be too late!
CAPTION: Is this the end of Abby?
CAPTION: Spoiler: we still have lots of Frazetta art.

Hi, Tony. I love this gag. As for the spoiler, let me think about it. But so far I’m thinking it might work better--and thus be something we’ll use—if we make some very small modifications:
CAPTION: Is this the end of Abby?*
CAPTION: *Hint: We still have lots of Frazetta art. So...
CAPTION: Find out for sure when we return from our big, cliffhanger holiday break--Jan. 6!
