Reading Room JUMPIN' JUPITER "In Space No One Can Hear You Laugh"

If you thought Jumpin' Jupiter's first story was weird...

..his third appearance from Weird Tales of the Future #4 (1953) is gonna make you plotz!

Whether it's his ongoing SpaceHawk strip or any of the numerous one-shot tales he did, Wolverton's Golden Age output was always instantly-recognizable!

This humor strip ran in #2 thru #5 of Key Publications' Weird Tales of the Future, along with several sci-fi/horror stories also written and illustrated by the amazing Basil!

Creeping Death from Neptune

The Life and Comics of Basil Wolverton

Volume 1: 1909-1941

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 Can't Happen Here

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.
