Exit Stage Left - The Snagglepuss Chronicles

[kamino_neko]

The latest of DC's Hanna-Barbera reimaginings is Snagglepuss, who is reimagined as a gay southern playwright in the 1950s.

There's not much more intro to be had, so let's jump right into the book.


We open on the final night of SP (as Snagglepuss is generally known)'s hit play, My Heart is a Kennel of Thieves...




(I like the greyhound looking lady in the audience on that last page...the 'why am I applauding dogface?' look...)

After the show, he drops off his (knowing) beard, Lila Lion, and has his driver bring him to the Village.

(Edit I'd originally included another scene in here, but it pushed the post over the limit, in combination with this one, which happily posted the same scene, so cutting down was easier.)

The next day, he goes to meet with Dorothy Parker (real people are playing a pretty big role in this book)...





Well, there's no way that Parker's pessimism could possibly have a point about SP's life, could it?



Oh. (SP's first time in front of the HUAC was in the Suicide Squad/Banana Splits annual's backup.)


This is just a taste - Huckleberry Hound is totally missing, as is a sideplot involving the Rosenbergs' executions...plus more details of the stuff covered here.
