I would totally hang with that dude.

I would totally hang with that dude.
Here’s a light post to make up for all those text-heavy posts of late.
If there’s a better sci-fi phrase than “set blasters to flesh,” I don’t know what it is.

And now, Progressive Ruin presents more fashion tips for the ladies….
…courtesy Young Love #122 (November 1976):
Giant sewing props on loan from 1950s Batman comics, presumably.
We now pause for this brief musical interlude.

In which Lanny Lummox uses his kung fu in service of greed.
Ooh, Lanny Lummox, no good can come of using your kung fu skills in the service of evil. Karma will catch up to you…
…except the Raccoon Kids, Rollo and Rudy, get involved, and somehow trick you into using the bags of flour that were actually inside the box to bake pies, which the kids take and eat, except for the few they convince you into putting under the “money tree” outside and having you wait for cash to flutter down upon them:
Thus is your avarice and misuse of martial arts rewarded. Though I suppose you will finally get what’s coming to you when the authorities figure out who took the money lost from the armored truck. …Enjoy spending your eventual nickel up the river at the graybar hotel, Lanny Lummox.

Have I got some funny out-of-context comic panels for you!
…Like this one!
Man, who is Aunt May talking to? I don’t see anyone! She’s asking someone who’s not there to bring her a mop! That’s hilarious!
And get a load of this!
Doom clearly had someone on his staff specifically for going around his castle and lighting candles in the light fixtures. That’s totally crazy!
What’s going on in this next image?
Why, Archie’s about to be arrested for assaulting those three guys, of course! Boy, is he in trouble!
And check this out!
Three of the heroes are worried about their wives or girlfriends, while Batman has no woman in his life, and therefore only has to worry about his crimefighting partner, with whom he’s clearly shaken hands following a successful capture of an arch-criminal and passed on the “doom” described by the villain in that panel! Just goes to show you that there’s more than one way these evil fiends can trip up our favorite heroes!
And then in this panel:
…well, actually, I don’t get what’s funny about this one.
Don’t really have anything for today…
…so here’s a 1976 Marvel Super Hero Stamp featuring Sub-Mariner fighting an octopus:
At least, I assume they’re fighting.
And now, a thing the Spectre doesn’t say often enough nowadays.
