Yeah, no wo...Another week, another Black Jack saga. Yeah, no words here, either.<br /><br />And yes, that's one gigantic starfish-with-a-mop. (Versus a plain old gigantic starfish *without* janitorial skills...).<br /><br />Re: Superboy: Besides the joke cover, one note of interest is the March of Dimes badge in the corner encouraging readers to help "fight infantile paralysis" (aka polio, still a scourge in 1950, though the vaccine would be invented/introduced several years later...). The plot: when a Smallville High fraternity snubs a friend of Clark's, Superboy pledges the fraternity to teach the members a lesson on snobbery. (Yeah, I know... a *high school* fraternity?! A Google search suggests they existed in the earlier decades of the 20th century. Though the story is recycled for 1962's "Superboy" #94, where it's Clark himself who's snubbed...)Anthonyhttp://www.anthonynotes.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35995922.post-78086160698830221252011-12-04T03:01:32.552-05:002011-12-04T03:01:32.552-05:00Viva Adventure Sunday!
Black Jack, move to Kansas...Viva Adventure Sunday!<br /><br />Black Jack, move to Kansas. It's safer there. Far fewer plainclothes seals to harass you. If you still can't get the sea out of your mind, take up loan-sharking. <br /><br />Wonder if jerry even knows how to swim?<br /><br />That's the second biggest starfish with a mop I've seen this month.<br /><br />James ChattertonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
