Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "It's Always Sunny At The DNC"

From DC's anarchist cartoonist -

"It's Always Sunny At The DNC"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3780

If there were a sure sign that the Donkeycrats are pants-shitting
panicked at the prospect of traditionally-Leftish/progressivish voters
abandoning their worthless asses en masse at the polls over the
genocide in Palestine, it's the fact that the likes of MSNBC and the
Washington Post just can't stop the tubthumping over the economy and
the "consumer confidence" polls just out this week.

Never mind the piss-poor public health response to COVID19, or the
historic re-enactment of the fall of Saigon in 2021, or the piss-poor
disaster response in Maui last year, or the metric fuckton of cash
flushed down the shitter for a bunch of Ukrainian Nazi hillbillies,
the wide-open support of fascistic ethnic cleansing in Palestine, the
continued attempted instigation of world war — nahh, screw that shit;
the consumer confidence numbers are in and the economy is rockin', so
let's turn that frown upside down, ya' fusty proles.

Secret History of Comics - Ephemera Finds in TN

One of the things I like to do is wander around antique stores and junk shops. Here's some stuff I found in Tennessee last month.

This is a Herblock cover caricaturing Art Buchwald for Newsweek that I didn't know existed, so I was quite surprised by it.

This appears to be an advertising card for Union Pacific Tea from the latter half of the nineteenth century. It's being donated to the Library of Congress soon.

This matchbook looked like a New Yorker cartoonist to me so I reached out to historian/cartoonist Michael Maslin:

Maslin wrote back, "Not all of the faces, but a few (figs a&b), look like Steig's early work. The fellow extreme lower right most especially (fig. a) . But I'm not confident enough to say it is Steig's work."

fig. a

fig. b

Beetle Bailey original comic strip 9/13/1993.

Note that the dealer thought it was a print, and not the original, and priced it accordingly.

A Buck Rogers post-production mini-poster by Dave Perillo that's being donated to Library of Congress.

Three British digest-sized comic books that will be donated to the Library of Congress comic book collection. The cover photos have been added to the Grand Comics Database already.

WorldCat doesn't list any copies in the United States, and almost none worldwide. When Randy Scott was at Michigan State's comic book collection, I would feed material such as this to them.

Love Story Picture Library #1259

Star Love Stories #591

Love Story Picture Library #1254

World War II cartoon postcards are easy to find, but the antique mall was waiting

on me to close so I felt compelled to buy something.

Note the dental drill, for graphic medicine fans.
