Public Service Ad EASY WAY TO A TUFF SURFBOARD! / IS THIS STORY ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND?

The legendary Frank Frazetta did a number of sadly, now-forgotten, pieces...
...like this public service anti-smoking ad that ran through the b/w Warren Magazines line from 1964 to 1971 or so.
Note the main aspect is the financial cost to the smoker, not the physical cost!
Publisher Jim Warren knew how to repurpose material to get additional free use out of it.
Just by changing the title, he found a re-use for this male bonding experience in his short-lived female-oriented Teen Love Stories magazine!
Fascinating, eh?

Monday Madness FAIRY TALES "Midas"

Ziff-Davis' short-lived Fairy Tales comic did straightforward adaptations of classic stories...
...without too much embellishment!
Both the writer and artist of this effective re-telling of the classic story from Fairy Tales #10 (1951) are unknown.
(And despite the issue number, this was the first issue of the book's too-short run!)

Trump Reading Room BEDLAM "Earth Invasion"

Trumpanzees should read this kick-butt piece...
...and then we'll witness if they feel like going out and shooting someone, like their fellow Trumpanzee did in El Paso!
Well?
Ready to grab those AR-15s and slaughter the local populace?
Why not?
Wackadoodles have used the "pop culture" causes violence trope for over a half century, from the "comics cause teen crime" insanity of the 1950s to the "violent videos" of the 80s and 90s, to the video games of today.
If violent video games (supposedly) cause people to become insane killers, why do countries like Japan, with far more violent video game content, have far less crime (including shootings) than America?

Friday Fun SPACE MOUSE "Reservation to the Moon!"

Sometimes the heroic Space Mouse ventured into outer space to fight menaces...
...sometimes the menaces commuted to Earth!
And, sometimes, very rarely, there is no menace...just misunderstood alien visitors!
Writer/artist Frank Carin told this never-reprinted tale of misinterpreted Moon-people motives in Avon's Peter Rabbit #31 (1956)!
