Where it came from
The Pink Panther #38 was published by Gold Key Comics in 1978 during a period when the character, originally created for the title sequence of the 1963 Blake Edwards film, had become a staple of Saturday morning animation. This issue reflects the transition of the panther from a sophisticated cinematic icon into a purely slapstick, pantomime-driven comic book character designed to appeal to younger audiences through visual gags.
The artwork in this era of the Gold Key run was handled by a rotating staff of artists who maintained a simplified, clean aesthetic consistent with the DePatie-Freleng animation style. These comics were intended as lighthearted, disposable entertainment for children, focusing on the panther's wordless interactions with the 'Little Man.' While the series enjoyed a long tenure, these issues are now collected primarily as artifacts of 1970s licensed comic book ephemera rather than for groundbreaking narrative innovation.
