We were in the mood for love for this week's Sunday Funnies, but we're not really sure what we found.

Mr. Anthony's Love Clinic, one of the many "romance" comics aimed at female readers in the 1950's, features "intimate revelations of love and romance" as told to the apparently very real "John J. Anthony," the director of the "Marital Relations Institute" and host of a weekly radio program.



What's disturbing about Mr. Anthony is that he appears to be posing as Dr. Anthony, and despite being some sort of popular marriage counselor, he seems to want to examine the woman seated on this cover as though he were an actual physician.˜
