> [@Scott Plaid](#): > > In all seriousness, no. I do have a few issues of [Rip-Off Press comix](http://www.waterholes.com/CuteyBunny/page1.htm) , and the Cutey Bunny issue (Army Surplus Komix > No.5 ) with the X-men parody vs. WWII-era Invaders parody, but it is too good to sell. It stared Chris Claremont as himself. However, the creator _has_ put much of his new work on the internet, including monthly calendars, since about 1998. Best [the Quagmire](http://www.cuteybunny.com/) I ever saw! Oh, and it seems [Sir 0tter](http://sir0tter.com/comix/publishers/eclipse.html) has a few issues. At second thought, got any issues of [Captain Jack](http://www.milehighcomics.com/cgi-bin/backissue.cgi?action=list&title=01556735804&snumber=1) ? I would be willing to trade you every issue of Captain Jack ever made, in exchange for my one issue of Army Surplus Komix Holy Crap! It is a commie infiltrator! Someone get Chuck Norris! Silly rabbit, everyone know the true medium of wrestling is chocolate pudding. I ain’t got Jack. 😃 ---

It’s amusing to find laws still in effect that have outlived their necessity. I remember learning in junior high school that the constitution of my home state banned anyone who’d fought a duel from holding state office. ---

I always knew the Russians had vodka. I always wondered why they never developed _red_ vodka. Tripler Those damned, wacky Soviets. ---

I drank so much vodka & cherry Kool-Aid during my misspent youth that I used to think vodka _was_ red (yet apolitical). 😃 ---

> [@Beware of Doug](#): > > You elf-lovers are gonna be the first ones up against the wall when the blacklist comes back. I just want you to know that. Just last week, my sig line said, “Where does Ernie Keebler go for a new sofa? L. Fish!” Now, I’m on a list somewhere. When I went to my draft physical in the 1970’s, I was asked if I was ever a member of a huge list of orgs I’d never heard of. They freaked when I told them I had used an alias. Back then, magazines were mailed in alphabetical order, and some of them knew me as **Baldwin Aaberley.** I got my mags a day before the Bastines. I went to see a speech once at Ball State U. by Rennie Davis, one of the Chicago Seven. He was recruiting for a huge demonstration that hoped to shut down Washington, DC. A man in the audience (who looked like a cartoon FBI guy) asked Davis if he was a member of the Communist Party. Davis laughed, and he said the Communists are so boring. I didn’t go to DC. It looked like a stupid plan to me, and I had to work, anyway. The shutdown didn’t work. The government simply ordered everybody to come to work three hours early, so by the time the blocking happened, all the bureaucrats and warbiz guys were already there. :smack: It did embarrass the government, though. Ed Meese (IIRC) ordered the DC cops to round up thousands of people off the streets, including a few hundred non-demonstrators. They corralled them in soccer fields all day, and all charges were dropped the next day.
