Those Who Cannot Remember the Past are Condemned to Repeat It

Thank to the "poorly educated" (Don the Con's own words)...
...we're about to relive a nightmare from almost a century ago!
Ironically, a classic work of fiction parallels the events of the past year...including last night!
It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis tells the tale of Presidental candidate and demagogue Berzelius “Buzz” Windrip who uses many of Don (the Con) Trump's rhetorical tactics to sway the uneducated, bitter white men of post-Great Depression America into voting him into office and the terrible fascistic nation that results from letting such as him gain control!
The book was written in 1935 and used Adolph Hitler's rise to power in Germany as it's plotline template!
Will Don the Con continue down the path of Buzz Windrip (and Hitler)?
Lord, I hope not...

It's ELECTION DAY...

...and you must remember...
 ...as this HTF 1952 one-shot giveaway from Harvey Comics says!
It was so popular that the book was reprinted in b/w to meet demand in time for the election!

Trump Reading Room LOOIE LAZYBONES "Holiday in HogBite Holler!"

Let's look in on the adventures of Don (the Con) Trump's "deplorables"...
..and see what America might look like under their control...
Created in 1943, Looie Lazybones floated around the Nedor Comics line as a "filler" strip until settling down in Thrilling Comics as of #56 (1946).
Young up-and-comer Frank Frazetta took over the art a couple of issues before this tale in #70 (1948) bringing it amazingly-close in visual style to the strip's "inspiration", Al Capp's Li'l Abner, which had already become a media sensation, with a radio show, feature film and tons of merchandising!
So close, in fact, that Capp hired Frazetta to "ghost" Li'l Abner in 1954!
BTW, the writer is unknown.

...published by Harvey Comics in 1952 (60 years ago)!
Amazing how it's both generic and pertinent even decades later!

Reading Room ADVENTURES INTO THE UNKNOWN "Civic Spirit"

Some of the tales of this year's Presidential campaign are so unbelievable...
...you'd think they were taken from a comic book!
Written by Richard Hughes, penciled by Bob Lubbers, and inked by John Celardo, this tale of ghosts, graft, and government appeared in ACG's Adventures into the Unknown #10 (1950).
If only we could use such supernatural solutions to remove real-life grifters from local, state, and federal office...
