Friday Fun / Trump Reading Room HILLBILLY COMICS "MacSleezys: New York AND Bust"

...heck, I'll let the writer present a synopsis of the tale for me...
Written and illustrated by Art Gates, this tale from Charlton's Hillbilly Comics #2 (1955) was part of a brief trend in comic books during the Li'l Abner series' greatest popularity in the mid-1950s!

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!

Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Conclusion

When Last We Left a Disfunctional Congress...

...no, not the one currently screwing up America!
The one screwing up the founding of America!
Specifically, conservatives, even then, "right-wingers".
Some called them Tories.
Some called them "traitors"!

How Thomas Jefferson was ...persuaded...to write the Declaration was abridged in the comic...but not in the movie!


To keep the horny Jefferson on-task, a little feminine assistance was imported from Virginia...

Sexually-satiated (in a tasteful, Comics Code-approved way), Jefferson pens the Declaration of Independence...

...and then the debating really began...


One matter the comic avoids, but the movie (and the play it's based on) doesn't is slavery and how it was addressed in this situation...

And now, back to the voting...
And thus was the "Great Experiment" Born!

Happy 249th Birthday, America!

I Hope and Pray We Reach the 250th!

Patriotic Reading Room 1776: the Movie Part 1

Before Hamilton, There Was a Broadway Musical About the Creation of the USA!

But, unlike Hamilton, there was a comic book adaptation of it...when it was transformed into a movie!



As you can see, doing a musical as a comic book has a major drawback!
NO MUSICAL NUMBERS!
But we have a solution...Insert the songs back into the narrative!

Now, on with the comic...

Time for another song!

Again, back to the comic...




To Be Continued...Tomorrow...

Space Hero Saturdays SPACE WESTERN COMICS "Spurs Jackson and His Space Vigilantes in 'Death from U-235' "

...here's another exciting, never-reprinted adventure featuring cowboys and aliens from Charlton's Space Western Comics #40.
Ah, for the days when a cowboy's devotion to the good 'ol USA overrode living in luxury on another world with a beautiful space princess...
(Never thought you'd read that sentence on the 'Net in 2025, eh?)
Scripted by Walter (The Shadow) Gibson, and illustrated by an unknown artist!
Don't worry, owlhoot.
There's lots more space-spanning, six-shooting action to come, so keep us bookmarked!

Baker Reading Room UNUSUAL TALES "Bordoni the Great"

Charles Nicholas and Vince Alascia's cover introduces a never-reprinted Matt Baker-penciled story...
..and there's not a single Baker-trademark beautiful woman in sight!
Cue The Twilight Zone music...
Writer Joe Gill and inker Vince Colletta join penciler Matt Baker in a simple, but effective story from Charlton's Unusual Tales #16 (1959) that could've worked as a standard-budget TV episode in the 1950s!
The tale reads like a set of storyboards with dramatic camera-angles and lighting effects!
