Oh God, when I heard that the Kat-comic was destined for Harvey's dungeon, I thought
Razor and T-Bone would suffer some hideously disfiguring multi-issue disease until someone
actually *looked* at the model sheets. I'd thought things were as bad as they could get, then I
heard *Archie* was going to get the title. "Archie"'s rules of engagement are as follows:

1) Every character in the foreground cannot be shown to scale.
2) Every character in a medium shot is to be shown in black silhouette, unless they're really
    far away in a background shot, in which case they're red.
3) No two issues are allowed to be pencilled by the same artist - if by some inexplicable
    Act of God this does occur - change the inker. We have a reputation to hold up.
4) Make sure no two consecutive issues are distributed to the same city. Cleveland gets
    issues 1, 3 and 5, whereas Vancouver should get 2, 4 and 6. Never the twain shall meet.

'Course none of this came to pass anyway. Harvey croaked, Turner prohibited Archie from
launching a title, and Dark Horse told the Tremblay Bros. that "Cat characters don't work".

(Oh yeah, the Turner rep laughed in the face of a comix professional who made the mistake
  of asking an intelligent question at Comicon: "How about a Kats Comic?")
