Valentine #46
In "Hold Me, Hug Me, Rock Me," a chance encounter between Sue and Peter takes a twist when their paths cross again at the new vet’s office—Peter, it turns out, is the vet, and the dog’s illness stems from an unexpected chew toy: a letter he’d sent to Sue. With art by Roy Newby, this 1957 Valentine comic captures a quiet moment of misunderstanding and reunion, all tied up in a dog’s chewed-up confession.
