Also, the late Archie Goodwin was editor-in-chief of the late, lamented Epic Comics line.
But I think the original reference was to Godwin’s Law.
Which is______?
Godwin’s Law: As a thread approaches a certain (huge) length, comparisons of the winning to Hitler or the Nazis will be made by the side who is losing to bolster their point. The side who makes those comparisons immediately loses. (Or, as the Jargon File quotes it, “As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.”)
Collary to Godwin’s Law: Deliberately trying to invoke Godwin’s Law does not work.
The winning side, damnit!
