Happy TURKEY Day, JOE!

Here's a holiday-themed cautionary tale with the message: "Be careful what you wish for!"

I can't imagine that some poor child back in the day didn't lose sleep over this one...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Thanksgiving Comics - Untimely end...

When the Thanksgiving theme started with this...you had to know it wasn't going to end well.

Look at the happy family gathering from JSA #54 (JANUARY 2004). All settled down for a sweet little Thanksgiving dinner.

Yeah right. We already know how these people are!!
For the first time ever, here's the unedited cover that DC didn't want you to see!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Thanksgiving with the Grundys

There's so much wrong with this picture, that it's one of my favorite Thanksgiving images...

Thanksgiving with the Thimble Theatre Thespians

KING COMICS 32 (NOVEMBER 1938): I'm not sure if Wimpy is sweating because he's so hungry he can't stand it, or if he's afraid he'll get smacked if he says, "Hey dumbass, the turkey's right behind you!" And WTH is up with Henry? Is he a budding proctologist?

FOUR COLOR 17 (1942): Who knew that Wimpy was such a health nut? Eating turkey burgers decades before anyone else thought of it!!

Thanksgiving Comics - Golden Age Heroes are Dicks

COMIC CAVALCADE 18.
(DEC-JAN 1946/7)

This cover shows that the golden-age Flash, Wonder Woman and Green Lantern were just not nice people.
Look at how they're chasing that poor turkey around. You know they're just after him because they want to whack his head off and plop him on their dinner table. But that's not the bad part. Millions of people do that.
But...why do they have to terrorize him first!?
Between Flash's speed, Wonder Woman's lasso and Green Lantern's power ring, one of them could subdue the bird in a second and have the deed over and done with. But nooo...they have to chase the thing, put stress on his heart, cause him anxiety...
What is up with that? Is this how they have fun?
They're dicks.

Gobble it!

Yeah, I'm back. For a minute, anyway...

Well, I wasn't going to be able to top last month's banner, so I didn't try, LOL! For a thanksgiving theme I went with the cover of COMIC CAVALCADE 18 (DEC-JAN 1946/7).

And here's the original:
I made some slight changes. Guess I was in a weird mood. Heh.
