From the creators of Shazam! (aka Cpt. Marvel) came "Fatman the Flying Saucer" (no. 1 April, 1967). Van Crawford saved the life of an extraterrestrial. The grateful E.T. gave Van a chocolate drink that would transform him into a flying saucer. Van teams up with Lucious Pindle, a thin teenager alias The Tinman.
In issue one (was there ever an issue 2?) Anti-Man (who is similar to The Creature From the Black Lagoon) is hell bent on destruction of the human race, since they have destroyed his race, leaving him the last of his kind. Before any real destruction can be done, anti-man's battle-ax wife shows up and tells him he needs to support their 5,000 tadpoles. She explains that "Every time he gets hopped up on seaweed juice", he goes around claiming he's the last of the species.
Of course, Elsie is the mascot of Borden Foods, and her husband Elmer is the namesake of Elmer's glue. This November 1949 comic is about their domestic adventures with their children Beulah and Beauregard. In one story, Elmer is shrunk down to the size of a mouse by Beauregard's chemistry set. The mice tell him they would prefer cheese rather than the bacon he puts in their mouse traps.Surprisingly, this is the only pro-dairy product statement in the book.
A parody of the Johnson administration. Ladybird as Wonder Woman is hilarious. (1966)
(June 2004) These guys spend a lot of long, lonely nights on the road. One night, despite their being in denial, old mother nature takes her course, and the duo begin an ongoing homosexual relationship. (The smell of Petey's socks drive Butch insane with desire, and cupids fill their tawdry hotel room.) They begin seeing penis shapes everywhere they look. To confirm to themselves that they "hate the fags", the two engage in a killing spree, mass murdering homosexuals. (Hey -- I said these were weird!)
This is the first in an on-going series I will do whenever I can't come up with anything else to do.
