Golden Age Moment of the Day (43)

From Reptisaurus #2, downloadable here (for your convenience), a glimpse of family life for giant monsters:

That dude in the foreground shoving his butt in our faces is a mad scientist who was trying to control them with a magic machine, and those planes are dropping nukes. Just another day for Reptisaurus and his "murderous mate" (actual description from narration)... or it would be, if the nukes didn't wipe out the babies in the next panel, sending the two of them into a plane-smashing rage.

Bonus: Here's the family tree delineated for your convenience. (This was the only panel that actually had the babies in view, and in fact they weren't even mentioned before this...) Click for full view, because it's a big panel.

I'd say that Mrs. Reptisaurus was maybe a little too loose, except that the babies look at least as much like Reptisaurus as like her (which is to say, not very much at all).

-Signing off.
