Never Cross a Man Wearing a Bolo Tie...

Let's continue our look at Pep Comics #26, shall we?  

I wasn't raised Catholic, but I've certainly seen and read about nuns in Catholic school and how hardcore they were about discipline.

All I can tell you is...

... your average schoolhouse nun has nothing on that guy.

One of the more recent CMNS meme's, Well, THAT Took a Very Dark Turn! (tm!), has gone over quite well with you darlings, so let's do another!

Oh, Thomas!  You lazy scamp!

Well, THAT Took a Very Dark Turn! (tm!)

And finally... Hey!  It's time for some Fun with Out of Context Dialogue! (tm!):

Now, anyone that has read this blog at all knows that I do not condone the use of "gay" as a slur or as a negative connotation for anything, and I'm certainly not meaning that here.

But that's pretty dang funny.

See you tomorrow!

Seriously, Though.... Don't Give a Dog Lipstick

Oy!  That was a terrible storm, and I am without power at Casa CMNS  and there's no air-conditioning where I work, so this is not my favorite day.

But you know what makes every day just a teeny bit better?  Blogging.

Courtesy of Robert Gillis, here's an Excessively Impossibly Expository Monlogue!

I remember this cover from a house ad.  Good stuff.  And here's some Fun with Out of Context Dialogue! (tm!) courtesy of Lois Lane #1:

Oh, I don't know... there are some truck stops where it's hard to keep the "sword drinkers" away!

Good stuff, Robert!

Here are some bits n' pieces from Startling Comics #24:

It's funny if you pretend the first guy's name is "Larry."

You know what makes this funny?  Look at that panel while listening to this:

Here's something I didn't know about the Golden Age:

Women apparently weren't into lipstick.

Enough of that.  Let's finish with more Fun with Out of Context Dialogue! (tm!)

Pitching Pennies at Tecumseh!

Let's check in on The Midshipman from Pep #3, shall we?

Considering how demanding Princess has been in the past, she's being a surprisingly cheap date.

I had to Google what "pitching pennies" actually is.  Apparently, you toss the pennies at the statue, and the person who has their coin closest to the statute wins all the coins on the ground.  It is believed that variations of this game have been played since Ancient Greece and may have shown up in the first Olympics, where I'm sure it was really entertaining for onlookers.

Hey... if you have areas designated solely for parades, you've got to expect all kinds of parades.

Yeah, the free use of "gay" and "queer" back in the day make for easy cheap jokes.  I never claimed I was above it.

The MIDSHIPMAN is NOT UNHURT!

Give me a minute....

Okay, that means he was hurt.  I had to diagram the sentence to be sure.

You know he's hurt because his head is fully wrapped:

Even the President of the United States has asked me to thank you!

Really?!

Well... he didn't NOT ask me to not unthank you!

I love the Golden Age.

See you tomorrow!
