...Make MAGA Part of Our Past...Not Our Future!

Election Day is TOMORROW!!!

And there came a day unlike any other day, when heroes banded together to battle a menace so overwhelming no single hero could stand against it...

...unless not enough of those heroes actually go to vote!

Here's a handy (very) basic guide...

Illustrated by Warren Kremer and Al Avision, this one-shot published by Harvey Comics in 1952 (72 years ago) was offered for only a couple of pennies a copy to any group (even Republicans) who wanted to utilize it to get out the vote!

Note: Our gratitude to the ever-amazing Kracalactaka for the full-color scans of this ultra-rare comic!

Now, unless you want things to stay as they are (or get worse)...if you're over 18 and under 110...

...GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND VOTE!

2024 Donald Trump = 1960 George Wallace ?

When your own fans compare you to George Wallace...

...as a retired welder at the Trump rally in Alabama did...

"Donald Trump is telling the truth and people don't always like that," said Donald Kidd, a 73-year-old retired pipe welder from Mobile.
"He is like George Wallace, he told the truth. It is the same thing."

...you know Trump's hitting the target demographic he wants.
Nativist, reactionary, undereducated.
Wallace was so proud of his racist attitudes that he had them included in a comic book produced in 1960 during his election campaign!

These pages are excerpts of the 16-page comic considered instrumental in Wallace's victory in 1960.

You can see the complete comic HERE.

You'll note an emphasis on "states' rights" of the sort MAGAs advocate as well as the paranoid fear that the Feds wanted to "take over" Alabama.

BTW, In his inaugural speech after winning the race, Wallace promised "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever."

Note: Ironically, Wallace was a Democrat.

However, Federally-forced desegregation as well as the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 caused many racist Democrats aka Dixicrats to switch to the Republican Party (which began catering to the right-wing audience with the "Southern Strategy") or, as in the case of Wallace, joining the newly-created American Independent Party.

In the late 1970s, Wallace became a born-again Christian and recanted his racist attitudes.
But I don't think the 1970s Wallace was the one Donald Kidd was referring to...

You CAN Vote EARLY in Most States!

Here's a handy (very) basic guide...

Amazing how it's both generic and pertinent even decades later!
Here's a Link to Check When Which States Allow Early In-Person Voting!

Sadly, This Story, Published Almost 75 Years Ago is as Relevant Today as it Was in 1952!

Friday Fun / Trump Reading Room SAVAGE DRAGON

Didn't see any comics characters (and their creators) endorsing Don da Con at any time...

...but I did see them proudly endorsing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in 2020...and will likely see them endorsing Kamala and whomever she selects as her running mate!

Wonder why?

Welcome to the Public Domain, Mickey Mouse!

Over half a century after Disney sued (and beat) for copyright infringement the "Air Pirates" artistic collective...

Fund-raising poster from the early 1970s

...their best-known character, Mickey Mouse, had finally entered the public domain, joining Sherlock Holmes, Frankenstein, Dracula, Winnie the Pooh, Peter Pan, and many others about whom new stories (unauthorized by the original copyright owner) may be created.

Of course, the new material must be limited to using only the elements in the now-public domain material.
Note: this includes already-PD material such as most (but not all) of the 1930s Mickey Mouse newspaper strip...which fell into PD because it wasn't renewed on-time under the law as it existed then!
But, year by year, as more Mouse becomes available, more elements can work their way into these new tales.

It's gonna be interesting!
