Original post here. The pair of images are a comic with captions and dialog as follows:

Panel One

Title (1): The Monster of Frankestein and the Plant
The Scientist (2): There. See? It eats spiders now! The plant eats spiders! It has advanced — only week ago it could only eat flies! What will it be able to eat next week? And the week after? And then, in time, perhaps…

Panel Two

Caption (1): The scientist puts the baby donw on the floor in reach of the plant’s tentacles…and at the same time, the Frankenstein Monster emerges from another room…

Panel Three

Caption (1): The monster quickly sees what is going to happen to the baby. Infuriated, he sends the scientist sprawling…

Panel Four

Caption (1): …and grabs the baby out of the way of the reaching tentacles!

Panel Five

The Scientist (1): You moronic beast! What are you doing? Helping me or hindering me? You’re here to help me! Give me that baby!

Panel Six

The Scientist (1): Save me! Save me! Get this thing off me! I’ll do anything for you — give you anything! But save me before it eats me!

Panel Seven

Caption (1): The Frankestein monster moves toward the scientist. But his steps are slow. Not those of someone coming to another’s aid
The Scientist (2): Hurry! I can –feel –the teeth in me — hurry!

Panel Eight

The Scientist (1): Why — don’t you — get here faster…just get this thing…off me…and YAAAAH!

Panel Nine

Caption (1): Almost like a living animal, the plant pulsates, little sounds come from it as an awful hedeous thing happens! And the monster watches, just stands there and watches for two hours…

Panel Ten

Caption (1): That is all. The Frankenstein Monster knows the scientist will never bother him or anyone else evermore.

Panel Eleven

Caption (1): The plant is no longer hungry…its appetite is satiated. From flies to spiders to mice to a cat…and now an entire man. and the buds atop the plant once more undergo a change — a ghastly, awful change…

Some people think that Charles B. Griffith got the idea for his 1960 screenplay The Little Shop of Horrors from the 1931 short story Green Thoughts by John Collier, me I think a more likely candidate is a comic book story by Dick Briefer from 1951, The Monster of Frankenstein and the Plant.

Not the same, but look at the the design of the plant and the ending.
