The Pink Panther #11
In "Pink Suite Charity," the Pink Panther takes on the unlikely role of janitor at the Sweddy Palms Motel, only to be thrust into chaos when guests Hector and his wife arrive. Written by Michael Maltese and illustrated by Phil De Lara, this 1973 Western Comics gem sees the feline detective flounder hilariously through managing, plumbing, and serving—each attempt spiraling into comedic disaster. The cover by Phil De Lara captures the absurdity perfectly, a 15-cent slice of vintage slapstick.
