Before finally hitting it big with the Secret Six, Catman went through a long stretch as a joke, an embarassment. He was made to look like a jackass in Green Arrow and it looked like angry French gorilla Monsieur Mallah was going to kill him; but that would go on Catman's highlight reel before today's page: from Green Lantern 80-Page Giant #1, "Whatever Happened to G'Nort?" Written by Ty Templeton, pencils by John Lowe, inks by John Lowe.
This isn't a red-letter day for G'Nort, either: after Emerald Twilight, power rings stopped working, and G'Nort was not only stuck on earth, homeless and broke, but he was also losing control of his impulses and acting like a big, doofy dog. Chasing cars, sleeping in alleys, sniffing butts...
That doesn't make a helluva lot of sense, since G'Nort was an alien...although, maybe his whole race was like that? Or maybe earth's atmosphere and conditions affected his species? Or maybe G'Nort was just a bit off.
Oddly, G'Nort's defeated Catman and Black Hand, before either got big.

G'nort vs Catman is just one of those things that are Too Perfect for words.
