I guess it's okay now to report sadly that Kings in Disguise and later Omaha the Cat Dancer writer Jim Vance passed away June 5, after a long and difficult battle with cancer. In Graphic Novels: A Bibliographic Guide to Book-Length Comics, D. Aviva Rothschild praised the series, writing "the plot is always strong, and the characters are always three-dimensional and appealing." [24] Entertainment Weekly writer Alex Heard panned the comic, writing that "The story moves very slowly [...] one can readily agree with the disgruntled fan who wrote, 'My God! Where did you dredge up those horrid characters?'" [1] a b c d e f g Gustines, George Gene (March 27, 2020). "Overlooked No More: Kate Worley, a Pioneer Writer of Erotic Comics". The New York Times.

I first met Reed and Kate some years ago, at a signing I was doing in Minneapolis. (That was before I knew Minneapolis well, and before I knew how accurate a city portrait their 'Mipple City' was.)

In brief: Reed was very ill, and had no medical insurance. Kitchen Sink published a benefit book, called Images of Omaha, to raise money for his medical and living expenses. Many of the brightest talents in comics donated their time and energy to the project, drawing pin-ups and short comics for the book: so many of them, and with such enthusiasm, that the benefit comic wound up running to two issues, which demonstrated that Reed, and Kate, and Omaha were better loved and respected than perhaps even they knew. Jim's wife Jodi Berg has looked after Jim during this time and and her daughter Kaitlyn and Jim and Kate's children Jake and Sarah are now in her care and doing remarkably considering they all have fought to overcome disabiities. I wrote an afterword for the first of the benefit books -- it was an honour to be able to contribute, and in such sterling company. Reed got operated on and got well, and Omaha The Cat Dancer came out once more. Waller: Well, we moved in together. "Bizarre Sex" #9 was out and I had another issue that I was trying to work on. I managed to get through that and I was working on the second issue and I ran into a problem. Kate said, you know this doesn't make any sense to me. She pointed to something and said why don't you just do it that way? That would be more logical. I said, "Do you want a job?" And that was it. It was just that obvious and that was it. She sat down and started writing it and that's the way it stayed. I see no need to defend Kate, whose own reputation is secure among the great writers of comics. But in defense of both of us, i think I should say something about the origin of the material that started this.

I got to work fast and did this in about 3 hours. I thought I'd share it with you. This will be made available to the German buyers in a limited edition of 150. Or is it just 100.

Susan (Susie) Jensen is an aspiring model from the Midwest and new in the town of Mipple City, Minnesota. The story starts out as Susie uses her modeling to begin working at the strip club "Kitty Korner Klub" with her newfound friend Shelly Hine, where she now goes by the stage name of "Omaha". [17] Omaha starts to become well known after she is featured for the first time in Pet Magazine, an adult entertainment magazine, as the centerfold "Kitten of the Month". [18] In that sense she was your best and closest reader if she could read the early issues and write something that was true to everything you did and yet more. I will be producing a restored version of this home concert tape from 1991 and hope to have it ready in time for this Christmas.

Kate said, "We'll leave some stuff hanging because it'll be more fun that way." If it's just tidy enough so the main story arcs are settled into place but we've still got characters that are out there and have their own stories that's more fun for the readers because they can imagine the further adventures of Joanne and so on. It seemed appropriate to post this today. I wrote it eleven years ago, the introduction to a collected edition of a comic called Omaha the Cat Dancer.
