I’d love to add a laugh track to this consisting entirely of hyenas guffaws. Hyenas love a good joke—or even a mediocre one.
Art by Joe Doolin from the cover of Jumbo 105 (Fiction House), Nov. 1947.

SCENE: Wearing a skimpy, leopard skin outfit, Sheena battles what appears to be a native woman who is either a priestess or chieftess. The native woman—who like Sheena—wears a skimpy outfit. She’s holding a spear that Sheena is trying to wrest away from here. Meanwhile a pack of angry and apparently hungry hyenas are rush towards a man who is tied to a stake in the background.
NATIVE WOMAN: You can’t stop me…or my hyenas, Sheena!

“Seafood Blues” from Donald Duck #268, 1988. Art by William Van Horn. Script by John Lustig & William Van Horn. ©Walt Disney Company
Although I concentrate on Last Kiss these days, I spent decades writing Disney comics—mostly Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge stories. For Disney, I started out doing one-page gags, then graduated to two-page stories and then finally stories that ranged from 10 to 28 pages.
The one-pager pictured here is one of my first and is from 1988: “Seafood Blues.”
The art is by my pal—the great William Van Horn. Bill—who was already established as a Disney artist and writer—provided me with invaluable advice and help on this script. We teamed up on many stories over the years and remain close friends.
