Reading Room THIS MAGAZINE IS CRAZY "What Would Happen if Women Laid Eggs?"

As Egg Prices Leap to All-Time Highs, We Dare to Ask...
...utilizing this more-than-slightly misogynistic comic feature from one of the numerous MAD magazine clones published in the 1950s!
This never-reprinted feature from Charlton's short-lived MAD magazine clone This Magazine is Crazy V4N6 (1958) embodies the misogynist mindset that existed in the mainstream until the late 1960s and has recently-experienced a resurgence among Reich-wing/MAGATs!

Friday Fun HILLBILLY COMICS "Man Who Hated the Moon!"

 Here's a tale of a guy like the good ol' boys who support the disgraced, impeached (yet re-elected) President...

...from a short-lived 1950s title telling their stories!
Yep, these are the people Don da Con and other Republicans play to while decrying the "educated elites".
"Bubbleville', according to Repug Mike Huckabee, represents the big cities of New York, Washington and Hollywood where the educated (but not smart) people live.
"Bubbaville", I guess, is everywhere else in the good ol' USA.
And that's where the "real people" are.
The ones who are smart...without all that fancy book-learnin'. 
The ones we city-folk call "deplorables"!
Written and illustrated by the highly-underrated Art Gates, this never-reprinted piece from Charlton's Hillbilly Comics #1 (1955) shows the "wisdom" the Cheeto Benito's audience is famous for!
