Separated at Mirth: Them's the BRAKES, Pal!


Today's Mirth Separation comes to a FULL-STOP with the cover of MUTT AND JEFF # 22 (DC Comics: Cover Date: June-July, 1946) and a Gandy Goose gag from LITTLE ROQUEFORT # 2 (St. John Comics: Cover Date: August, 1952)!

We've seen the MUTT AND JEFF cover before, as part of THIS POST, but now it BRAKES through again for its second Separation at Mirth! 

In fact, if you arrange them THIS WAY, it looks like a "related-gag head-on-collision"!  


Since this won't end well, perhaps we'd better cut off this post right here...

Cynical Blog Post: If I Were a Pterodactyl, I'd Want to Live in a Different Age!

From various Gold Key Comics released in the spring of 1968, comes another reason for me to be cynical...


If I could exist in ANY Earth Time Period at all, and going strictly on NAME alone, I would NOT choose the "UPPER JURASSIC" Age!  (...Go on, say it out loud, folks!) 


...And not just because I'd become a fish stick for one of these monsters!  

 EEK!

Happy New Year 2025!

 Happy New Year 2025!  

...Or should I, as that famous TV game show goes, phrase it in the form of a question?  

 ...Happy New Year 2025?  

As far as my answer goes... I DUNNO!  

I see some very bad things (or, at the very least, norm-shattering, chaotic things) ahead for 2025 for both our country and the world as a whole! Most of you can probably guess what, as I nonchalantly sidestep the specifics of a topic that is out-of-bounds at this humble Blog.   

Of course, I'm referring to the sudden and unexpected cancelation of THE BATMAN & SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES...

...An unfortunate occurrence not to be confused with, or mistaken for, any "real world" events of a political nature - though some of those could stand to be suddenly and unexpectedly canceled too! ...Batman and Scooby, we need your team-ups now, more than ever!  ...There, was that nonchalantly-sidestepping enough for you?  If not, I can try again... Oh, you just want me to move on?  Yeah, I think I should too!  

On the other hand, looking inward (as opposed to the increasingly ominous view "outside", with no more BATMAN & SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES to enjoy every month), things are looking very bright - and that's where I will tend to keep my attentions focused!  

Like HERE! 


And HERE!

And the all-great, all-new, all-exciting things comics-wise that are coming in 2025... that, darn it all, I STILL can't talk about!  ...Sorry (at least for now!) 

Happy New Year 2025!  ...For Real!
