This is the first appearance of a side character that will become more prominent later on, though at this point in the comic Danny had not given her a name yet.
Caption: “Flesh so sweet, effervescent in flavor, must be papaya.”
Original Date: July 11th, 1971.
Caption: “Instructions in French, German, Spanish and Japanese, but none in Italian?!”

I still find this one pretty funny, maybe because it mirrors my own experience with IKEA furniture, but also it references the idea that Gelato is just always speaking in Italian and we just aren’t aware of that.
Caption: “A man loves nothing more than to explore her hidden depths.”

This is the first appearance of the character Cat Gamble, and while I find the compulsory love interest always a bit annoying, I still find her design and the personality she develops really interesting.
