As a response to the mean-spirited Marc of Young Love, DC introduced in issue #140 of Falling in Love (March/April 1973), the kinder, gentler male perspective in the form of advice column, "Paul - The Other Side!" Notice that Paul is cool with the "Libbers" and believes that "everyone's got the right to speak his or her mind..." Right on, Paul!
I think my favorite thing about the Paul's column is his picture. It appears to be the photo of Marc, just reversed and with a mustache -- but hey! Let us suspend our disbelief and go with it. Paul -- twin brother of Marc, he is!
It should be noted that Falling in Love only lasted three issues beyond this one, and "Paul - The Other Side" was continued in subsequent issues of Young Romance. The title move was very fitting, considering that Marc's column appeared in Young Love.
♥ Who do you like better? Marc or Paul? ♥
