SUMMARY:

Published for March 1994 by Harvey Comics under its Harvey Classics imprint, this issue is entitled “Pink Christmas.”  There isn’t any indication whether or not the single story is really a reprint.  A homeless and famished Pink Panther desperately spends Christmas Eve trying to score a free meal and avoid freezing.       

REVIEW:

Unlike his cartoons, this Pink Panther actually talks, which doesn’t help the well-intentioned script much.  Other than a few mildly amusing gags, the kid-friendly story at least has a poignant last page.  Sporting decent artwork, this comic is at best an okay read.       

ADDITIONAL CONTENT:

While the artistic team isn’t named, the inside front cover conveys Harvey’s administrative players.  A coloring page promotes the “We’re Back!” movie.  A single page depicts black-and-white drawings from Harvey Comics fans.  A letters-and-answers column is supposedly answered by ‘Little Lotta;’ ‘Richie Rich;’ ‘Baby Huey;’ and ‘Hot Stuff.’  The back inside cover hypes Issue # 6, though, awkwardly enough, this issue’s same cover image is used.
