Number 2155: Dr Hypno inks with cat fur

Dr Hypno is back. I showed Dr Hypno’s origin story in 2016. At that time he had the honor of being selected as the 2016 Thanksgiving Turkey Award recipient. If you want to see more, just go to the link below today’s story.

In today’s story, Dr H is being tortured by enemy agents. Yikes! He is strung up, hung from a ceiling. That has just got to hurt. As you who have read the origin story know, Dr Hypno can put his mind into an animal. It is what he does with a cat, in order to get someone to rescue him. I hope I won’t spoil this story by saying that Dr Hypno’s human brain gets the cat to dip its tail in ink. Beyond what he is able to accomplish with Dr Hypno’s brain controlling him, I don’t think a cat’s fur would be useful for other tasks, say inking comic books. Especially not for Frank Thomas, who created, wrote and drew Dr Hypno. Thomas had a nice brush ink line, which comes from the flexibility of sable hair. There’s no need to worry that some crazed artist will steal your cat and turn him into a feline Winsor and Newton Series 7 comic book inking brush.

This purr-ty good Dr Hypno entry is from Amazing Man Comics #18 (1940):
