Monday Madness FAIRY TALES "David and the Dragon"

An updated version of Lewis Carroll's Alice wasn't Dave Berg's only foray into fantasy...

...there was also the cover feature for the first issue of Alice's Ziff-Davis Comics stable-mate, Fairy Tales!

(Yes, I know it says "#10", but it's the first issue!)

The "look" of this strip is totally-different from the other Ziff-Davis material by Berg we've presented.

But, keep in mind that Dave got his start working for the Eisner-Iger Studio in 1940.

One of the attributes they looked for in their artists was the ability to mimic other illustrators' styles...including Eisner's own!

It's possible he was instructed by editor Jerry Siegel to go for a "look" similar to Walt Kelly's on his successful and popular Dell Comics Fairy Tale Parade and Mother Goose stories!

But when he started work on Alice, Siegel let him go back to his "normal" look!

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...
