Notes:
Script identifiable as Doyle by his distinctive writing style (much sharper than the writer of the last few issues).
This issue re-introduces Sebastian the cat, who had been absent for the last few issues. It also introduces several elements that would be used in the Hanna-Barbera cartoon (which premiered the following month): Alan M. traveling with the Pussycats, Alexandra scheming to join the group, and the group fighting mad scientists and world-domination plots.
This was also the last new story for many years to feature Alexandra's magical powers, which were not used in the TV cartoon. Her powers were briefly re-introduced in the early '80s.
