“Down, Down, Down They Go”

In "Down, Down, Down They Go," the Pussycats find themselves caught in a high-stakes gamble when Mr. Cabot, their eccentric benefactor, secretly bets they'll fail spectacularly—so he can claim a tax write-off. With his blessing, the girls dive into a whirlwind tour of England, decked out in flashy new gear and armed with unlimited spending power, unaware of the real reason behind his generosity. Written by Frank Doyle and brought to life with Dan DeCarlo’s signature charm—penciled and inked by the DeCarlo duo, colored by Barry Grossman, and lettered by Bill Yoshida—this 1984 adventure captures the Pussycats’ spark in full swing, all wrapped in a cover by Dan DeCarlo Jr.
