Before They Were Fractured

As we watch what happens when Fake President meets Real Crisis and wonder how much better things might play out if we had an adult in charge, let us contemplate these Words To Live By -

"They're not as important as saving the world from COVID-19 and POTUS-45 but I can actually do something constructive about them." -M.E.
(M.E. is ALWAYS Mark Evanier)

Focus on your world close at hand and you can make good use of our current Down Time, and maybe even avoid driving yourself a fraction as crazy as our fake president.

(BTW - for those who are confused as to what Obamagate is since fake president cannot explain it when asked - it's daring to be tolerably competent and make plainly obvious what a complete and useless fuck-up our current 'leader' has proven to be.)

So, let's turn away from the ongoing effort to ignore and wish away the trump flu while hiding the death toll his incompetence has caused*, and instead lose ourselves in some more friendly twisted fantasies. 

Today's offerings come to us from the man who brought us "Comics" McCormick and the Minute Movies - Mr. Ed Wheelan. Here are a half dozen of his Foney Fairy Tales for you to enjoy -








I hope that helped.

*(It is VERY worth remembering that Fake President is currently pushing for punishing those who mishandled the Trump Flu crisis (see China by his words) and prosecuting former Presidents for perceived crimes.
After all this is over, those are two things we should very strongly consider, according to his own words. Make America Great Again - Prosecute Rich Criminals)

  1. Enjoyably loopy.

    I didn't notice the bagpiper was blowing on the wrong tube until the plot point was mentioned, despite the fact that it was clearly shown the whole time... though if I had been more observant it would've thrown off the rhythm & weakened the story... so Wheelan played fair but counted on the reader not noticing... He should've been doing murder mysteries with that audacity...

  2. Yup. He caught me, too.
    Totally missed it until he rubbed our faces in it.

    If he had been doing mysteries like that, how hard would we be scouring every panel? Of course, he did do mysteries in the Minute Movies, but i don't recall him doing it in the way you mean.
    However, i'm not going to go reading in them now to find out. I'm trying to move on to others for a bit.

    But Ed keeps calling me back...
