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.
