Monday Maternity Madness MAD "Mad's All-Inclusive Do-It-Yourself Abortion Newspaper Story"

With minor updating, this never-reprinted two-page feature...

...written by long-time contributor Frank Jacobs from EC's MAD Magazine #324 (1994) could be used today!

Sad, isn't it?

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "People Like This Really Exist!"

It's sad and amazing how this strip from 1990 by writer/artist Nina Paley...

...is so relevant (and accurate) today, 24 years later!

From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

Friday Fascist Fun UNQUOTABLE TRUMP "Nice Nurse"

From Now Until Election Day, We'll Be Presenting Examples of How Creatives See Don da Con...

Is he referring to his "concept of a plan"?
Note: In 2016, Don da Con said he had "a big, beautiful plan that'll be cheaper than ObamaCare, cover everyone, and be ready to go on Day One, 2017!"
Anybody ever see it?
I didn't!

Based on the cover for Marvel's Night Nurse #3 (1973) by Win Mortimer!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Right to Strife"

While some may claim this one-pager by writer/artist Harry S Robins from Angry Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women (1990) is a grossly-exaggerated parody of the Reich-wing mentality of the anti-choice mob, I can confirm from personal observation of some of their protests that it is only slightly-exaggerated.

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Son of (Obviously Republican) Judge"

"OK for me (and mine), but not for thee!"

-Republican mantra
Written and illustrated by Steve Lafler.

From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

Friday Fascist Fun UNQUOTABLE TRUMP "Strange Wombs"

Sometimes Don da Con's incoherent ramblings are sadly, self-explanatory...

...as he misquotes others to make a "point" that doesn't actually exist!

The original cover by Wally Wood and Joe Orlando from Avon's Strange Worlds #5 (1951) is less frightening than the reworked version above!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Burning Issue: a True Story"

The ruling made by the Supreme Court repealing Roe V Wade two years ago seems inevitable...

...when you are dealing with religious fanatics who believe America should be like this!

Nope, this isn't all of America...yet!

But we're sure as Hell headed there as our own conservative religious fundamentalists start dominating the government!

There will be more in the coming weeks!

Monday Maternity Madness FACTS 'O LIFE FUNNIES "I Wanted to Say Something..."

This never-reprinted one-pager...

...from Multi-Media Resource Center's Facts 'O Life Funnies (1972) by writer-artist Terry Richards reveals the quandry too many women have faced for over half a century!

Of course the fact that emotionally and intellectually-immature males (unlike true men, who would try to avoid unwanted preganancy) refuse to take equal responsibility in the matter doesn't help!
BTW, note the effectiveness levels of the various birth control methods!
Also note that Republicans want to eliminate them all!
From 2022, a half-century after this comic was published...

"Today, Republicans showed the American people where they stand: no abortions, and no birth control to prevent the need for one"

Now that's Scary,!

Monday Maternity Madness ABORTION EVE and FACTS 'O LIFE COMICS

In 1973, the Supreme Court validated Roe V Wade, and a Dark Age was ended...

...as legal, safe abortions were finally allowed in the United States of America!

Unfortunately, in 2022, that decision was overturned, and the Dark Ages returned to America!

Here's an example of what it was like pre-Roe V Wade...

...from Facts 'O Life Comics, published in 1972!

Do we really want that again?

Monday Maternity Madness WIMMEN'S COMIX "TeenAge Abortion"

Odd how the situation in this story from 1972 is equally likely to happen in 2024!

Thank you, Repug Supreme Court justices!

Note: MAY be NSFW due to mature topics, but there is NO NUDITY in the tale!

Written and illustrated by Lora Fountain, this story from Last Gasp's Wimmen's Comix #1 (1972) shows what it was like in the dark pre-Roe v Wade days...and now, unfortunately, a half-century later in the post-Roe v Wade days.

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Some Words From the Guys in Charge"

Want to bet all these characters are based on Republican politicians of the 1990s?

And, note that they are, of course, all males, not "men" in any meaningful sense of the word, just like most current Republican politicians!

For the record, the late writer/artist Howard Cruse was a man, unlike Repug VP candidate JD Vance or Prez candidate Don (da Con) Trump!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Generation Gaps"

Republicans want us to regress to 1960 (and further back) instead of progress past 1980!
Written and illustrated by Robert Triptow.
From the one-shot benefit comic by Angry Isis Press, Choices: A Pro-Choice Benefit Comic Anthology for the National Organization of Women (1990)

Monday Maternity Madness Redux CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"

On the second anniversary of Dobbs V Jackson Women's Health Organization...

...we re-present a tale from Choices, a benefit comic produced in 1989, about the almost-equally-stupid Webster V Reproductive Health Services verdict,when we thought that was the worst that could happen to America's women!

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it!"

Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs, a multi-award-winning writer/artist who would do an acclaimed run on DC's Wonder Woman a couple of years after this.

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Civilization as We Know It!!"

The male (not "men" by any standard) Republican mindset in a nutshell...

...and I do mean "nut"!

From Angry Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Donahue"

The story's title refers to The Donahue Show...

...a daytime talk show hosted by Phil Donahue, who believed everyone should be able to present their viewpoints.

There's more about that incident HERE.

In an interesting twist, Killea herself is not pro-abortion, but believes others should have the right to choose!

“Abortion is a tragedy,” Killea said on The Donahue Show.

"However, even as government works to expand family-planning programs that could curtail the number of abortions," she said, "it also must ensure that abortions 'are legal and safe--and rare.' ”

Personally anti-abortion, but professionally pro-choice!

Heck of a lady...and a politician with integrity!

She passed in 2017!

From Isis Press' Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Comic for the Anthology National Organization for Women, produced to raise money after the Supreme Court ruling of Webster V Reproductive Health Services (1989) began the re-imposition of limits to the rights of women over their own bodies!

One final note: both writer Mindy Newell and artist Ramona Fradon are Jewish, so their disgust at the Holocaust comparison is both heartfelt and understandable!

Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"
