Kurt Busiek response to Michael May in TheREHcomicsgroup@yahoogroups.com regarding the story Conan's Favorite Joke.
It was John Buscema, in an interview, who made a comment about Conan's
favorite joke involving a death or a decapitation; I don't remember the
details. Paul Smith drew a one- panel cartoon based on the premise that
hung on the wall of the CONAN editor for years.
Bruce's and my story is inspired by John's comment and Paul's cartoon.
