Friday "Fun" HEE-HAW "Cornfield Chatter"

With Don da Con now Dictating Receivers of the Kennedy Center Awards...
...we are sincerely-surprised the cast of this surprisingly long-running rural "humor" anthology TV series isn't included in the first batch!
Both these two-page spreads are from Charlton's Hee Haw comics derived from the syndicated TV series.
These examples of the show's "humor" were written and illustrated by Frank Roberge and based on an ongoing skit featuring the entire cast (plus guest stars) in a cornfield popping up and doing jokes and one-liners!
The series ran a surprising twenty-six seasons from 1969 to 1995, though the comic only lasted for seven (never-reprinted) issues!

STOP PROJECT 2025 "Environmental Protection" & "Extreme Weather"

If You Can't Breathe, Eat, or Drink, You Die...
...yet Project 2025 wants to suffocate you, starve you, and force you to go thirsty...all in the name of profits!
Along with altering the very chemical composition of the land and waters, Project 2025 wants to eliminate the only national warning system for the resulting catastrophic changes in weather systems!
Does this make any sense to you?
If not, then why did you vote for it...or worse. fail to vote at all?

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder LOST PLANET "Thin Air" Part 1.5

We Have Already Seen...

Adventurer/fortune hunter Tyler Flynn, escaping from enraged South American natives in 1938, passes thru a portal from our world to...another!
It's a dimension where everybody speaks English (though they don't call it that), the technological level seems to be roughly around Europe's Middle Ages, dinosaur-like creatures are domesticated, ravens can talk, and the residents are used to people from Earth wandering into their realm!
Some also take an unhealthy interest in those Earthmen...








Could "Ambrose" be Ambrose Bierce?
He does know about guns, which no native of this dimension would have knowledge about!
Bierce disappeared around 1914, and Tyler fell in to this dimension in 1938, so that's not too unlikely!
And why does this woman want him dead?
Wha is he to her?
And who is she?
The Answers to These and Other Questions May Be Answered When We Return to The Lost Planet...Next Month!

STOP PROJECT 2025 "Immigration"

This extremely-well-done (but little-seen) graphic presentation of the basics of Project 2025...

...produced and presented before the 2024 election, covered all the major aspects of American life that the Reich-wing Heritage Foundation wanted to change for the worse...and are now proceeding to do so!


If more people had seen this easy-to-understand presentation before the election, it might have helped sway the result!
Chapters cover everything from Abortion to Immigration to War on the Working Class!
None of the individual chapters, like the one, above are signed.
The contributors were an assortment of graphic storytelling talents ranging from well-established creatives to bright and eager up-and-coming talent!
In alphabetical order: Karim Ahmad, Ho Che Anderson. Alejandro Arbona, Brandt&Stein, Zander Cannon, Comicraft, Valentine De Landro, Kieron Dwyer, Jerel Dye, Cheryl Lynn Eaton, Ben Fisher, Matt Fraction, Gene Ha, Cully Hamner, Mike Henderson, Jay Hosler, Shawn Lee, Steve Lieber, Laurenn McCubbin, Ibrahim Moustafa, Evan Narcisse, Jim Ottaviani, Greg Pak, Jeff Parker, Joe Phillips, Tobias Queck, Greg Rucka, Mark Russell, Chris Ryall, Sara Ryan, Jennifer Smith, Lilah Sturges, Zoe Tunnell, Jen Van Meter, Rick Veitch, Shannon Wheeler.

Other contributors to this project have elected to not have their names listed here.
We respect and protect their privacy and thank them for their anonymous contributions.

Did some (understandably) fear retribution from their clients/employers and/or the then-future government?

Monday Mecha Madness WORLDS UNKNOWN "Farewell to the Master" Conclusion

Cover art by Rich Buckler & Wayne Howard (with additional art by John Romita Sr)

Reporter Cliff Sutherland and photographer Ann O'Hara may be on to the scoop of the century.

An alien robot, which went inert after Klaatu (the alien humanoid it accompanied) was shot and killed (without provocation) when he tried to initiate contact with people of Earth isn't as unmoving as the US government believes!
The duo conceal themselves nearby, hoping to catch the automaton in motion...which they do!
They witness the robot enter the alien vessel...which sealed up and apparently deactivated after Klaatu was killed.
And now things get really weird...
Cue the Twilight Zone theme...
The original story by Harry Bates appeared in Street and Smith's Astounding Science Fiction V26N2 (1940) with the following illustrations by Frank Kramer...all of which feature Gnut!
"Farewell to the Master" has been reprinted numerous times, usually in anthologies about Astounding Science-Fiction magazine, or compilations of stories which were adapted into films or TV shows.
But the graphic adaptation from Marvel's Worlds Unknown #3 (1973) has never been reprinted, and no other comic book/comic strip version has ever been done!
However, there was another prose adaptation of the short story...

This book, written by Arthur Tofte, published by Scholastic Books in 1976, combined "Farewell to the Master" with the screenplay for the 1951 movie into a new novel which presents Klaatu and a rather verbose Gnut (not "Gort") as a pair of equal partners, representing their respective civilizations within a galactic organization calling themselves "The Watchers"!
Finally, Lux Radio Theatre produced a one-hour radio adaptation in 1954, narrated by Paul Frees and starring Michael Rennie as Klaatu!
Regrettably, it doesn't use Bernard Herrmann's magnificent soundtrack but it's still worth listening to.
You can link to it HERE!
KLATTU BARADA NIKTO!
Which translates to:

Shogun Warriors Return Next Monday!
