Friday "Fun" HEE-HAW "Cornfield Chatter"

With Don da Con now Dictating Receivers of the Kennedy Center Awards...

...we are sincerely-surprised the cast of this surprisingly long-running rural "humor" anthology TV series isn't included in the first batch!

Both these two-page spreads are from Charlton's Hee Haw comics derived from the syndicated TV series.

These examples of the show's "humor" were written and illustrated by Frank Roberge and based on an ongoing skit featuring the entire cast (plus guest stars) in a cornfield popping up and doing jokes and one-liners!
The series ran a surprising twenty-six seasons from 1969 to 1995, though the comic only lasted for seven (never-reprinted) issues!

Belated Holiday Post: EVERY DAY'S A HOLLY DAY "Thrilling Story Behind Old Glory: Flag Day"

Learn About...

...and try to forget it was also (ironically) the 79th birthday of disgraced, twice-impeached, President Don (the Con) Trump, the Oldest President in American History!

Coloring goof: the Union soldiers in panel 5 are wearing Confederate gray!

Why is this 1955 comic entitled "Every Day's a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day's a Holiday"?

Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!

Illustrated by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays (before they were combined into "Presidents' Day" in 1962), 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!
Note: We're gearing up for our traditional multi-blog Summer Blogathons which we'll announce the week before the 4th of July weekend and begin the week after!

Friday Fun HILLBILLY COMICS "Man Who Hated the Moon!"

 Here's a tale of a guy like the good ol' boys who support the disgraced, impeached (yet re-elected) President...

...from a short-lived 1950s title telling their stories!

Yep, these are the people Don da Con and other Republicans play to while decrying the "educated elites".

"Bubbleville', according to Repug Mike Huckabee, represents the big cities of New York, Washington and Hollywood where the educated (but not smart) people live.

"Bubbaville", I guess, is everywhere else in the good ol' USA.

And that's where the "real people" are.

The ones who are smart...without all that fancy book-learnin'. 
The ones we city-folk call "deplorables"!

Written and illustrated by the highly-underrated Art Gates, this never-reprinted piece from Charlton's Hillbilly Comics #1 (1955) shows the "wisdom" the Cheeto Benito's audience is famous for!

THE CONVICTS WHO RUN COUNTRIES, PAST AND PRESENT!!!

The German Dictator Who Almost Destroyed the World...

Hitler in his prison cell in 1924!

...was a convict (for high treason) when he became Chancellor of Germany!

Now, Republicans allowed another criminally-convicted German,

Donnie Johann Drumpf

(his real family name, BTW)...

...who stated he would be a dictator...

...to rise to power over America in 2025!

God Help us All!

America Under RFK Jr as Don da Con's Health Czar!

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...

Friday Fascist Fun / Trump Reading Room TRUMP'S ABC

 Considering this was created only six months into Don da Con's (hopefully) sole term of office...

...the fact that it's still potentially-pertinent almost a decade later is indeed disturbing!

We present selected excerpts...

Written in a sing-songy rhyme and drawn in a beguilingly-impeccable ink line by Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes, each page is a miniature critique and expose of convicted criminal and impeached politician Don da Con and his janissaries, poltroons, and dissemblers, illustrating his public policies, his personal defects, his ethical dysfunction, and the unfortunate consequences of his Presidency on the lives of Americans ― in a format that is cleverly designed to reflect his minimal attention span and toddler-like mental level.

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" now-convicted felon Don da Con remarked at a January 2016 campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa.

"It's, like, incredible."

"Frightening" is more like it!

Is he referring to his "concept of a plan"?
