Strange Ally Comics

-


Cover art for 'Strange Ally', May 1958

This most violent of the Golden Age Kid's Comics was in flagrant violation of the Comics Code and the publishers were hauled in front of a joint session of the U. S. Senate and HUAC.  William Deltoid Bunny, president and CEO of Sanguinary Tails Distributed did not help matters one little bit by denying all knowledge of the comic in question and also his own identity.  Pressed, he finally admitted that he was, indeed, in charge of STD publications but that the senators were too stupid to understand a goddamn thing about the comics industry and, in the case of Senator Buford (D.-Florida), too inbred.  He then began to reminiscence about his own deviant sexual practices with evident gusto and ended by dropping his pants to show his "great respect for this august body".  Every single copy was ordered destroyed and Mr. Bunny was dragged away by capitol police with the help of Senator Buford.  The entire funny animals comic industry was immediately put under surveillance by J. Edgar Hoover and Walter Lantz was seen with a shotgun outside of Mr. Bunny's tarpaper house waiting for him to return home.
The story of a wandering wolf who takes over the rabbit army to lead them against the villainous humans was not sued into oblivion by the makers of  'Yojimbo' only because that movie was not made until 1961.

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+hel...
