Fredric Wertham launched a crusade against comic books in the 1950s. He said of Batman, "It is like the wish dream of two homosexuals living together. [It] helps to fixate homoerotic tendencies [with a] Ganymede-Zeus type of love-relationship."

I made a new and his name is Gabriel. He’s a cat demon and he died at 1950s. And I think him and Angel Dust will have a great bond together. Expect to see more drawings of him in the future.

Here’s the climate reality: Fire season in Australia has become longer since the 1950s. Bushfires (what the Northern Hemisphere calls wildfires) are also becoming more extreme, especially in southern and eastern parts of the country.

Based on the old-timey villains from the 40s/50s. Imagine him laughing like Snidely Whiplash and then tying someone up on train tracks (though those dont exist in alola whoops)

Saturday Fixture - Frick and Frack.

Werner Groebli & Hans Mauch were comedy skaters from Switzerland who entertained folk from the 30s to the 50s. Frick’s signature move was the cantilever spread-eagle. Simply side-splitting.

Bravo gentlemen.

The fact is most teens weren’t greasers and most greasers... were just chill. 10% of greaser gangs were violent in the 1950s.

Now for writing purposes the gang in Heartbreak Hotel is meant to bridge both. They’re just friends that chill but obviously the story has violence.
