   The KISS comic was magazine sized and published by Marvel Comics. There was blood in it, as advertised, but only a small quantity (like maybe a thimble full, or some equivalent) which was blended into the gallons of red ink used.

   Of equal note, a couple of decades later, Marvel published a trade collection of a popular mini-series, SQUADRON SUPREME, that had a portion of the deceased writer’s ashes mixed into the ink.

   Johnny Robo is right about the strip being constructed to accommodate newspapers that don’t get the Sunday strip; it also accommodates those who DO get the Sundays but don’t get the dailies. But as to why the Benders don’t do a different story altogether on Sundays, well, it’s most likely that it isn’t their call. It’s the syndicate that usually makes that decision, and all we can do is speculate why. They have their reasons, even if we’re not likely to agree with them.
