The Chicago Bears Beat the Green Bay Packers in the Playoffs for the First Time in Decades!

Celebrate the Chicago Bears' Playoff Victory Against Their Eternal Regional Rivals, the Green Bay Packers...

...with this cool, never-reprinted tale from Prize Comics' Babe V1N4 (1948-49) about the "Chicago Crushers" pro football team by writer/artist Gordon "Boody" Rogers, a graduate of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and the Art Institute of Chicago, who obviously was a Chicago football fan!
(Though we're uncertain if the strip's Crushers were a variation of the Chicago Bears...or the Chicago Cardinals, who later moved to St Louis, then to Arizona!)
But the guys in green she's mopping the gridiron against on the cover (whom she never actually plays against in the tale) are pretty clearly the Green Bay Packers!

...we thought we'd re-present an almost century-old example of how the game might be with a woman super-star...and what a woman she is!
Note: Though I'm a born-and-raised New Yorker (specifically Brooklyn), I currently have "dual citizenship" with residences in both Chicago and Manhattan,
Sadly, though, neither the Jets or Giants made the playoffs, so, this year I'm going with the Bears...
One of writer/artist Boody Rogers' wildest creations, Babe: the Darling of the Hills, was one of several hillbilly series "inspired" by the phenomenal 1940s success of Al Capp's Li'l Abner!
Babe Boone derived her abilities from "lightning juice" which was fermented from the bark of trees struck by lightning!
When it and Rogers' other ongoing series, Sparky Watts, were cancelled, Boody retired from commercial art and comics, opening a pair of art supply stores!

...but this never-reprinted short is not as bad as you might think!


Illustrated and likely written by Dick Briefer, who was in the middle of his humorous revival of the Frankenstein Monster for Prize Comics!
