Mopsy by Gladys Parker from February 15, 1953.
Mopsy is practicing archery but after missing the target several times she finally breaks her bow in two using her foot, runs over to the target, takes out a gun, and shoots it to pieces.

Adoration. Real photo postcard from my collection, no date/info except an embossed photo studio logo that says “Duclos - Lowell” - a photo studio in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Black and white photo of a light skinned woman in a long, voluminous dress sitting casually in a heavy wooden chair, looking adoringly down at a shorthaired tabby cat that she cradles gently in her lap. The cat looks toward the camera.

Close-up of Jo-Jo, Clown Prince of Crime, in full makeup: red nose, red-bordered white over the eyes and mouth, wisps of red hair at sides. He gestures with an index finger as he rants, "Then... along came the theater... the movies... and television... and before long, circuses became scarce, and clowns were no longer in demand! I swore vengeance!" BLACKHAWK #155, 1960. Writer unknown. Dick Dillin and Sheldon Moldoff, art.
