Senior Woodchuck posted:Fun story: When EC started doing these Bradbury adaptations, they decided to skip the hassle of securing the rights and paying Bradbury for the use of his stories. So when he found out about it, Bradbury sent them a letter saying he hadn't received his check yet but he was sure it was in the mail. They got the hint. Wow that's pretty ballsy. Nice way of going about it on Bradbury's part though - I guess they hadn't invented lawsuits yet.

Phantom Classic  Radio Patrol   Back when women, even police women, were only allowed to use the tiniest and cutest of li'l baby guns. Rip Kirby   Who's on that bill? Doesn't really look like a Hamilton or a Jackson, and although it may look like him, the likelyhood of it being an honest-to-goodness Woodrow Wilson seems pretty slim. Big Ben Bolt

Hjalmar posted:That Mopsy is pretty dang racy for 1940. Gladys was absolutely just drawing her own wank material & adding jokes later, right? So the official story (such as it is) is that Parker modeled Mopsy after herself (Apparently based on a remark Rube "Yes that Rube Goldberg" Goldberg made about her hair), and the resemblance checks out. She also got married to Benjamin Allen, who I guess was involved with her work on Flapper Fanny in some capacity? Wikipedia is vague as hell on the issue. Now, none of that precludes her being gay, or bisexual, or what have you, but if she was she did not keep any prominent "longtime female companions" which is usually the giveaway on the former.

Star Trek I'm sure these aliens are going to turn out to be warlike or religious fanatics or at the very least severely misguided because this is Trek, but they're still darned cute.  Condition red.  I imagine some bureaucrat at 80's Star Fleet decided that "red alert" sounded too scary and would stress people out. (Yes, I know it's still 1979. For like one more page.) Spock, I'm sure this is all really fascinating and all, but we seriously are about to crash into the moon so if you could just cut to the chase... I like the included tidbit that the Enterprise is not built to land. It just has to stay up in space forever. All the Trek I've watched all my life and I never really thought about that. Even though it seems like they crash it in every other movie, so clearly safe landings aren't its strong suit. He-Man (I finally got the scanner to give me two reasonably-sized margins!  )

So I've decided to drop Cathy, despite it being a thread favorite. However, in return I'm bringing two new comics to the table! First off is that old favorite of ours, Pluggers!  And the second new comic is sure to be a smash hit here at the SA forums, everyone please welcome Love is!  Now on to our regular programming. Zippy the Pinhead  Herb and Jamal  Last Kiss  Harley  Get Fuzzy  Please let me know if there's any other comics you want me to post, I'm open to suggestions!
