374. “Too Much Pink” Comic

March 17, 2021

Q: Trying to find online (or other) reference to Nat Lamp comics page that used the phrases “too pink” and “much too pink” about a woman’s breasts. Probably an early issue, maybe by Peter Bramley. Any ideas?

A: Carol nails it: “”Too pink! Too pink!” is screamed in terror by evolved cockroaches of the future when confronted by a Playboy centerfold. This is the ultimate horror after they’ve suffered a visit from a 20th century insurance salesman in WEERD TAYLS, a comic book parody in the May 1971 (Future) issue. Written (in futuristic cockroach dialect, yet!) by Choquette and Kelly. Art by Frank Springer.” Thanks again, Carol!

Of course! How could I not remember that. It's one of my favorite comic parodies. I think the Peter Bramley part threw me off. Thanks, Carol!
