Monster of the Day #1187

Betty Boop not only inspired the makers of Hausu, but those of Brainiac.

That’s also what Galaxy Jane looks like after I’ve told my patented “out standing in his field” joke for the fifth time at B-Fest.

    Frozen scimitars…now that’s cold, brother.
    Oh, the toked up days of Boop toons. Back when Marijuana was legal, eh?

    It’s a good thing they didn’t have LSD in the 1930s.

    January 15, 1934. The Day that Hell froze over and an incredible number of unlikely things happened.

    I know you are joking but, I like to think there are creative and wildly imaginative people who produce stuff like this w/o the use of drugs.

    I imagine a really high person would spend the whole night drawing incredible scenarios and wake up in the morning with a note pad full of scribbles.

    Just say no kids, it leads to harder stuff, you lose your job at the cartoon factory, and the next thing you know you’re breaking into hard working people’s houses* to support your habit /sgtfriday

    *btw, any news?

    They did it again tuesday while I was working, and took what was left that was pawnable. The back door is now boarded up like a zombie apoc. was…at the door.
    Two days in a row. That got the attention of the CPD. And we have suspects living, if ya can call it that, right next door, in a tarp tent in the backyard of my Neighbor who has…shall we say ‘issues’ and can’t choose good friends.

    How freakin’ bold, stupid, or psychopathic. I hope you get some recovery or restitution.

    I have a close relative with poor judgment like that and her just having a “friend” drop her off was enough for me to get an alarm even though I live in a super low crime area.

    Okay, now I’ll just have to check this one out.

    As has been said about the writers and artists of Golden Age comics, ‘They didn’t need it’.

    My source was the New York Times. ;-)

  • Ericb

    I was thinking more about the audience.

  • Flangepart

    Wise move, Grasshopper, wise move. I’m gonna have my friend Alan, who did the boarding, help me put in door renforcements.

  • That’s…um, completely accurate actually. :)

  • Eric Hinkle

    With comics like these? They were covered too.

    Gee, I always thought Betty Boop was just a cartoon flapper with whom the Japanese had some weird obsession. But this week has been a whole new education for me…

  • Gamera977

    Wow, or get a large and angry guard dog…
