Space Hero Saturdays SMASH GORDON "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Mongo!"

It starts out as a typical day for our Space Hero... 

...but as much as we want to tell you the rest of the story, this tale written and illustrated by Frank Brunner involves (gasp) nudity (but extremely-tasteful and not lascivious nudity), so you'll have to go to our "brother" RetroBlog, the appropriately-named

Not Safe for Work Comics

right now to see the rest!

And wait until you see who cameos on the final page!

Mythos: Fantasy Art Realms of Frank Brunner

Monday Madness THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY "Russians are Stealing Our Comics!"

Russians using pop culture to spread disinformation is nothing new...

...as this never-reprinted feature from Charlton's MAD clone This Magazine is Crazy V4N8 (1959) by an unknown writer and artist (or writer/artist) demonstrates!

The really sad thing is how few of these strips survive to this day!

Nancy, Dennis the Menace, and Beetle Bailey are still being published.

Peanuts is in reprints only, with no new strips since creator Charles Schultz retired.

Abernathy and They'll Do It Every Time are gone and pretty much forgotten.

Friday Fun SPOOF "What If...Celebrities Were the Last People on Earth?"

You know you're a baby boomer...

...if you recognize all the celebs in this never-reprinted tale from Marvel's Spoof #5 (1973)!

 Snoopy from the Peanuts comic strip!

 Julia Child, one of the first TV chefs!

 ABC sports announcer (and really annoying guy who deserves his fate) Howard Cosell!

And, finally...longtime comedy icon Bob Hope, whose annual tours to entertain our troops overseas are satirized!

Written by Marv Wolfman, penciled by master (or is that "mistress") caricaturist Marie Severin, and inked by John Costanza (a damn good cartoonist who made more money as one of the speediest letterers in the business), this piece was part of Marvel's failed 1970s attempt to return to the humor color comics market!

After trying three times with Spoof, ARRRGH! (horror humor), and Crazy (reprinting material from Not Brand Ecch), Marvel decided to switch their humor efforts to a b/w book...with the resulting revival of Crazy in that format running  over a decade with 94 issues and an oversized Special!

Where are the "Kool" Uniforms for Don da Con's Space Force?

The uniforms for Don da Con's "Space Force" have been unveiled...

...and are military surplus camos...for space warfare!
When you're given a multi-million dollar budget and you cant even do better than a 1970s tv series...

...you're really badly off!
Ironically, the comic-book version of Space Force has a much better uniform...

But, then, in the comic, Don da Con has lost over 100 pounds from his real-world weight!

(Or those spacesuits have built-in Spanx!)

Sad, ain't it?

TRUMP'S SPACE FORCE Serious or Satire?

Self-identified con comics writer Chuck Dixon created this one-shot...

..which claims to be a "work of satire and parody"!

But, considering the writer's political leanings...is it...or isn't it?

Consider the following...

Don da Con has lost over 100 pounds from his real-world weight!

(Or those spacesuits have built-in Spanx!)

Fellow three-wife-philandering con and hypocrite Newt Gingrich is shown to have tech knowledge far beyond his real-world mental capacity!

And, like many senior citizens (but not anyone under 65 with an average IQ or higher), he wears a baseball cap with a suit or blazer!

We won't even go into the plot point that anyone who disagrees with Don da Con is a disguised alien!

To any rational person, this is, indeed, a satire!

But to a con, (including many of the "deplorables"), the story reads as "possible if not probable".

But then, they thing pro wrestling is unscripted...
