Baker Reading Room OUT OF THIS WORLD "Return of the Pied Piper"

A Corrupt Politician Who Steals Public Funds!
As common back in 1959, when this never-reprinted story was published, as today, 65 years later!
Written by Joe Gill, penciled by Matt Baker (with only a single beautiful woman in sight) and inked by Vince Colletta, this story from Charlton's anthology Out of this World #13 (1959) is dependent on the reader being familiar with the classic fairy tale of "The Pied Piper of Hamlin"!
Wonder how many kids today know about the tale and would get the "punchline"...

Monday Holiday Madness PRESIDENTS' DAY...the Holiday that Combines Two REAL Presidents' Birthdays!

Before they combined Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays into a "floating" holiday...
...Washington's Birthday was always celebrated each year on Feb 22nd...
...and Lincoln's Birthday was always on February 12th!
Why the change?
USA Today has an explanation HERE!
Since this is a comics blog, let's get back on-topic!
These two features appeared in a 1956 comic called "Every Day's a Holly Day"
(No, it's not a typo...as you can see!)
Why was it called that instead of "Every Day's a Holiday"?
Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!
Illustrated by long-time comic illustrator John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including Mothers' Day (though not Fathers' Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!

Return of the BlogRoll

Now that I finally have a presence on Threads, BlueSky, and LinkedIn, I've noticed discussions about users linking their accounts on those apps to their vlogs/blogs/substack/etc.
I've noticed that, when I post to them, the link usually converts the feed into a phone-friendly format, which unlike my standard desktop/laptop format, doesn't have the sidebar elements I designed.
The sidebar has what's called a "blogroll", which is usually a listing of related blogs by family, friends, and others who share common interests!
In my case, it's a listing of my own blogs, dedicated to different genres and categories of fiction!
So, here's a blogroll within a blog post, featuring ALL the blogs I do, in alphabetical order!
Just click on the name to go to the blog!

Space Hero Saturdays OUTER SPACE "Blueprint for Survival"

Sometimes a Space Hero is just an ordinary guy...

...or someone extraordinary pretending to be ordinary!
This never-reprinted story from Charlton's Outer Space #21 (1959) follows the standard convention of movie/TV sci-fi of the era with friendly aliens who look perfectly human, but dress better (or at least more futuristically than us!
Written by Joe Gill, penciled by Matt Baker, inked by Vince Colletta.
