Happy Nude Year!

Here’s to a happy and safe and successful and occasionally nude 2018 for all of us!

Now, for you, a Progressive Ruin Secret: almost since the beginning of this blog, what, 30, 40 years ago, I had plans in the back of my mind for a post titled “AND NOW…IMPLIED NUDITY,” which would feature panels or covers from assorted comic books where the character was clearly intended to be in the altogether, but was covered up in sufficiently Comics Code approved fashion. I mean, nothing particularly salacious…it was stuff from 1970s Flintstones comics and, y’know, like that. No idea why I never got around to assembling said post, aside from fear of the kind of search engine referrals I’d get (not that the ones I get now aren’t particularly…imaginative), but just thought I’d at least present the very cover that inspired the idea: Beetle Bailey #74 (March 1970), my actual copy of which is buried in the stacks of unsorted comics that hopefully I’ll get around to un-unsorting during my day off today.

Thanks for reading, pals, and I’ll see you again in a day or two.
