World's Funnest

Not a whole lot of fun out there these days as Fake President meets Real Crisis and bursts like a pus filled zit into his dreams of being like Idi Amin. I expect we'll get a renewed push any day now for a military parade to glorify  Der Führer   Il Duce   The Leader  fat little donnie. (And that's still more respect than he has earned or deserves as the Greatest disaster EVER in History to be inflicted on the office. (You have to phrase it that way because he's so pathetic he can't even allow himself to fail a test for disease - instead the sad failure of a man 'tests positively towards negative'. Such a weak, weak little boy))

So, while fake president works hard to earn a Mad Dog moniker, let's look back at a time when comics were all about FUN; when World's Finest Comics sported the World's Funnest Covers -

Try to have some Fun out there, eh?

Fish Tales

Once upon a time a Fish Tale was a story with little to no basis in factual reality told as truth. These days that's the definition of a Presidential press statement (or a Twit tweet, if you prefer). While fake president goes ballistic telling us that truth is anti-Republican and facts have anti-conservative bias, i'm kind of missing the old Fish Tales.

So let's dive back into a trio of another sort of Fish Tales, starting with one from the great Jim Mooney starring Finny Fish -

Trees and picket fences in suburban neighborhoods underwater. I wonder if Sponge Bob's creators were fans...

Meanwhile, the classic trio of Winken, Blinken & Nod go on a fishy adventure with Bob Naylor -
 

Lastly today, Fish Family Frolics with Fin, 'n' Haddi and Mammy from Sidney Pillet -
 

Ah...  If only we could keep silly, self-destructive fish from biting in real life.

They just love worms too much and can't resist taking the bait...
