• Comic Capers

  These are some oldies but goodies.  I was going to write a poem I found while cleaning out my files but it was far too personal.  In the 30 minutes I was on Xanga yesterday I was offended...god I don't know if a return is in order then.  Oh well...enjoy comic books.

  
  Pearl necklace...hahaha...even Archie is getting more than me.
  
  Does The Thing have an orange thing?  Did you know that my nickname was the Fantastic Four?  It wasn't because there are four of me.
  

  
  You can have all the super powers in the universe but it won't protect you from an STD, so remember kids...crazy Uncle Matt says, "Cover your stump before you hump."
  

  
  I wish a broad would blow hard on me.  I said hard on.  HAHAHAHAHA!  This looks rather queer.  Or is it gay?  I am confused.
  
  Nothing confusing about this one...Wow these comics keep getting more and more sexually charged!!!
  
  Step back a little folks.  The Rifleman has a massive log.  It's a shock to me that he lets his son hold it like this.  Look at the eyes of the kid.  he can't believe what his father is making him do.
  
  So this is the most graphic 1940s comic book cover I have seen.  Tattooing USA through the heart.  Gosh that is full of Christian love.  Also a racist remark and @#!$% to insinuate swearing.  Wow!  Way to go War Report! 
  
  Hmmm I am wondering why Rainbow Boy isn't a modern day Gay Pride superhero
  

  
  Captain Marvel...picking on the Japanese...you may remember a few comic posts back I had with a DC Comics WW2 slogan.  Theirs was "Slap the Japs"  Marvel was a little too slow on the trigger to pick up that clever catch phrase so this is second best.  I wonder what is the deal with his size.  I have seen other Captain MArvel covers and he appears to be normal size.  OH I GET IT!!!! Japanese people are small so he looks like a giant.  Clever...very clver. 
  
  The grandaddy of them all.  Captain Marvel.  First off I am going to say that the sign on the beach pointing Germany bugs me.  I have been to plenty of beaches and there aren't signs on them point to places across the ocean.  Something else that bugs me...the cannon in Captain Marvels hands strikes me as phallic.  Also, look at Steamboat...yes Steamboat.  A 1940s comic book artist thought that is what black people looked like.  He reminds me of Goofy.  Maybe goofy is African America because he certainly isn't a dog.  I just can't believe they drew people like that.
  
  I guess they didn't have spell check back then unless Tokio actually exists but I doubt it.  Once again picking on the dimunitive nature of the Asian males.  Gosh you have to love those teeth. 

  
  Ok so here is some revisionist history for you.  Apparently the Nazis were a race of powder blue trolls and the general of the Allies was a Vulcan.  This comic looks like jingoistic propaganda.  I loved Professor Levorson. 

  
  
  Have a great weekend.  I think if I am able to get out of bed I will be in a forest come Saturday morning shooting deer and trying to stay sober.
