BiCentennial GrossOuts & Army of Principles!

A Half-Century Ago, During the Bicentennial, This Fascinating Cover Lurked on Magazine Racks...

...in "Head Shops", used bookstores, and porn stores (because there were few actual comic book stores at the time) where "underground comix" like this could be purchased!

Sadly, though, none of the never-reprinted tories involved the American Revolution, so we're not going to present them now...but they will appear in the future.
In the meantime, enjoy the cool art from the cover and intro page!

We will be presnting chapters of this, far more "family friendly" comic from (believe it or not) Kitchen Sink Press which could be considered an "edu-comic" on Tuesday and Thursday this week!

Friday Fun CRACKED and CRAZY BiCentennial Features

MAD is Easily the Most Famous of the b/w Comic Parody Magazines...

...but there were others who were no slouches when it came to satire and parody, starting with this never-reprinted feature from Marvel's Crazy #19 (1976)...




Written by Michael Pellowski and illustrated by Tony Tallarico.
Now, let's look at the other major MAD competitor, with this three-pager written and illustrated by Don Orehek from Major Magazines' Cracked #137 (1976)...



Finally, another Cracked feature, this one from #136 (1976) by writer/artist Su Gumen which demonstrates how "media bias" works!



Hope you liked these 49 year-old flashbacks to the Bicentennial!
And I pray America's still around for her 250th Birthday next year!
