 Easily the saddest comic character ever created, the Bunny Mummy is pitiful.  In the one story I have read he begs a magician for a cure, the guy refuses because the bunny is broke.  I have always felt bad for a creature that must be completely desiccated and still alive.   Gangrene is part of Vaughn Bode's Deadbone, a mountain inhabited by some very strange creatures.  Bode spelled the bunny's name both ways, Gangrene and Gangreen.

 For years Janos Prohaska was Hollywood's go to animal suit man. Take The Money And Run The Cookie Bear, the Andy Williams show. https://youtu.be/jmBVe2gzJy0    The Outer Limits, The Probe, 1965. Star Trek, Devil In The Dark, 1967. An animal lover, fittingly enough.  One of the few times Prohaska did appear on TV and show his face wasn't for any hairy role he'd accepted, but on the game show What's My Line?  In that episode, he arrives as a contestant in a gorilla suit like you'd expect, but removes the suit once it's time to start playing.    Star Trek again, A Private Little War. Some TV show. Outer Limits, The Sixth Finger.  1963 Land Of The Giants, 1968.  Boy, did this show suck.  And - we had to walk to the TV and manually change channels with a dial.  How long must my people suffer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janos_Prohaska Debbie the Bloop, Lost In Space, 1965.

 Movie poster for Rhubarb,The Millionaire Tomcat.  Rhubarb was played by Orangey, the most famous and the meanest actor cat of them all. https://catsinfilm.tumblr.com/post/180429408180/orangey-the-cat-was-a-tabby-cat-that-was-known-for   Rhubarb was written by H. Allen Smith.  Dell Books.   One more.  Pete Hawley was in huge demand, known for his Jantzen Swimwear ads.  But he has a lot of anthro animals in his quiver as well. When I was growing up I would see this guy's work everywhere. I was dressed much like this cat the day Kennedy was shot just a few miles away.  To me this is a sad picture.  These two kids, natural enemies, are having harmless fun while watching a morality play television show about clear cut good and evil.  They are visibly excited and will sleep very soundly tonight.  Damn few kittens and almost no mice find homes, let alone such a wonderful one as depicted here.  This will always be a pleasant if vague memory for the both of them.

 The big cat is still alive at the end of the lightning match, so Flamma loses.  That the cat will be dead in seconds is not important, this is a betting event.  Flamma cost his owner a huge sum today, as he is too valuable to maim or kill he will have to watch his only friend Ferro be flogged to death in order to motivate him to greater efforts in the future.  Leaving the rabbit alive is the biggest mistake Flamma's owner will ever make.  It's not like the bunny is well adjusted to begin with, and now his considerable cruelty and determination are focused on just one thing.  Shame about that guy's wife and children.

 The opening story from Solo, by the incredible Oscar Martin. Food is scarce and respect for life non-existent. Enemies abound. The rats are the smallest and the most hard pressed to survive in this world. Mind blowing artwork. Did I mention that this is good art? The quality of mercy is not strained in this world, it is unknown. Captured and put in the arena, Solo astonishes all with his speed and ruthlessness. It is speed, not size, that matters in an edged weapons fight.    But all is not hopeless. There may still be a chance for this fearless warrior. We shall see.
