Genres: humorous, science and technology
Feature(s): Donelan
Character(s): Two unnamed scientists; two bats; one dolphin; one nearly naked gay man

Reprint Notes:

Pages: 1
Disclose Notes: It's likely this story was too obscure to be the inspiration behind it, and he was only seen in one of four panels, but Marvel's own Rawhide Kid character did come out in 2003, in a mini-series which featured art and innuendo very similar to that contained within this one page story.
