I didn’t know if this was a Picture Postcard or a Saturday Comics entry, so here’s the Comics logo just in case.

This amazing ad is on display at the fantastic Geppi Museum in Baltimore. It is a giant comic book, pop culture museum with vintage comics and toys on display. Never been there? Go!

This ad is, of course, a parody of the classic The Insult that Made a Man Out of Mac comic book ads. Where did it appear? When is it from ? I don’t know, but I love it! Enjoy!

The Saturday Comics: Mutts Comic Cons 2014

Every year at San Diego Comic Con time, Patrick McDonnell turns over a week of his brilliant Mutts strip to superheroes. Too bad for them, they are always tormented by Bip and Bop, a pair of squirrels, sure to be their newest arch-villains, who live in what must be the most perfect tree in the world, as every hero is compelled to spend a few minutes in its shade. In the past, he’s done DC heroes one year, Marvel the next, but this time he’s mixed them up. Bonus points if you can identify the classic cover he’s paying homage to in the Sunday strip.
