One Panel #863: How a Cat Saved Vigilante

And now for comics on the stands in April of 1943...

From Vigilante: "The Cat and the Fiddler" by Don C. Cameron, Mort Mesking and Charles Paris, Action Comics #61 (June 1943)

You know when you're trying to write a song for Kpop Demon Hunters, and your cat just smashes through your partition like he's Robin jumping though a circus hoop? You know how sometimes, you're writing a One Panel post, and you don't really want to explain the context?

Okay, okay, I'll tell you. There's this stray, see? And this criminal whose shtick is to play the violin while his men break into safes. And the cat gets into the bag of stolen jewels. And when they empty it at their home base, the cat is let out of the bag and starts destroying the Fiddler's stuff (just not THAT Fiddler). And later, Vigilante decides to bring the cat along while seeking the Fiddler out. And he and Stuff get captured, tied to a bed wired to an alarm clock that will electrocute them when it hits 10 minutes. And he  beats his feet to make the wires wiggle. And the cat plays with them and breaks the circuit giving Vig the time to untie himself. So yes, a cat saved the Vigilante's life.
