Friday Fun / CoronaVirus Comics MAD "Failing Health Magazine"

Now that Halloween is over, we return to making fun of a real-life horror...
...by showing those who over-react to the slightest medical problem (and some that don't really exist) in a never-reprinted feature from EC's MAD Magazine #159 (1973)!
Scripted by Tom Koch and illustrated by the legendary Jack Davis, this was the sort of spoof MAD did better than anybody else in the humor mag business!

The only place this story's been re-presented, albeit in digital low-res!

Holiday Reading Room SANTA CLAUS FUNNIES "Carolers"

Walt (Pogo) Kelly doesn't need captions or word balloons...
...to tell his story in this never-reprinted one-pager from Dell's Four Color Comics #91 (1945).
It's just red and black because it's on the inside back cover of the comic, which was printed with only two colors, instead of the usual four (CMYK) colors to save money.
And, if you're wondering why we're running Christmas-related material so early this year...why not?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST WORLD "California Scheming"

We Have Already Seen...

...and part of Grauman's Chinese Theatre and sidewalk in front survive centuries from now?
Talk about building things to last!
And it was a "temple of popular culture...

The Weirdness Continues...
Next Wednesday!
Writer "Thorncliffe Herrick" and artist Graham Ingels apparently think the athletic blond, blue eyed Californians of the 1940s will deteriorate into these sorry specimens thousands of years from now in Fiction House's Planet Comics #29 (1943)!

Monday Madness / Trump Reading Room YOUR VOTE IS VITAL!

It's never been more important...
...to get out and do your duty as a proud American!
BTW, note that, even in the 1950s, less than half of qualified Americans voted...
Here's a handy (very) basic guide...
Illustrated by Warren Kremer and Al Avision, this one-shot published by Harvey Comics in 1952 (68 years ago) was offered for only a couple of pennies a copy to anyone or any organization who wanted to utilize it to get out the vote!
Amazing how it's both generic and pertinent even decades later!
Note: Our gratitude to the ever-amazing Kracalactaka for the scans of this ultra-rare comic!
Now, unless you want things to stay as they are...or get worse...if you're over 18 and under 110...
