In
her third appearance Kathy is artistically guided by yet another
hand. Again this person (or persons) are unknown. But the
draftsmanship on “The
Queen of the Washing Machine”
is simply gorgeous. The artist(s) seem heavily influenced by the work
of Will Eisner and this episode has a high quotient of ‘cheesecake’.
Moving
on to one of her later appearances, in KATHY #16, we have the
redheaded version. Once more the GCD has no citation for the
delineator. The artwork is very modern for the period and really
quite handsome. As I looked at it, I found it strangely familiar but
couldn’t quite place it. Then it came to me… it reminds me a lot
of Alex Toth. Toth did do several jobs for Standard Comics in this
period. Could I have stumbled upon an unknown work by him? You decide
for yourself.
