Trump Reading Room EVERY DAY IS A HOLLY DAY "Pan-American Day"
Here's a holiday I'm sure Don (the John) Trump is glad we've abandoned!
The idea of us actually working with those South of the Border is anthema to such as Don the John.
Don the John followed it with a less-than-enthuisastic proclamation in 2017, making the usual bellicose veiled threats against the other American countries.
I suggest you read both links, then compare and contrast the attitudes presented by both Presidential proclamations!
Why is this comic entitled "Every Day is a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day is a Holiday"?
Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!
Illustrated
by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of
American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays
(before they were combined into "Presidents' Day"), Mothers' Day (though
not Fathers' Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and
a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!
We'll be presenting the other chapters on the dates they fall upon.
Watch for them!

Friday Fun JETTA OF THE 21st CENTURY "Music from Afar"
Teenagers and pop music have gone hand-in-hand since the Jazz Era of the 1920s...
...so why should the mid-21st Century (as seen from the mid-20th Century) be any different?
(How could the two-headed singer from Planet X not know most other beings have only one head per person...and how could the humans not know people from Planet X had two heads?)
But, in the context of a punch-line for a humor story, it works fine!
Be here next Friday when we take a look at another short-lived, time-lost series!

Reading Room MYSTERY IN SPACE "Operation Phobos"
We presented the first Swinging Sixties Interplanetary Investigations tale HERE...
..now here's their final adventure from DC's Mystery in Space #102 (1965)!
Note Sean Connery-lookalike Damos appears again.
Also note (from the ad at the end of the story), this month also saw the Strange Adventures premiere/origin of "The Man with the Animal Powers" who would morph a couple of issues later into superhero Animal Man, who's still active in DC comics and tv series over 50 years later, unlike the secret agents of Interplanetary Investigations!
Written by Dave Wood, illustrated by Gil Kane, the series had a lot of potential.
Jan and Davos could've become a futuristic Man from U.N.C.L.E./Wild, Wild West/I Spy duo...
What could have been...

Buckle your swashes and read on...
Buckle your swashes and read on...
To his credit, Edgar Rice Burroughs made each of his series as different from the others as possible.
Except for an American protaganist and a beautiful woman to lust after, Barsoom, Amtor, Caspak, Pelucidar, and the Moon have vastly-different enviroments, unique flora and fauna, and differently-structured humanoid civilizations and governments!
Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Mike Kaluta, this tale from DC's Korak: Son of Tarzan #48 (1972) continues the adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel Pirates of Venus, the first of the Carson of Venus series!
