Luckily a high percentage of them are worthy of notice in one way or another, whether just beautiful or crazy or with significance to some aspect of life or all three. The long gloves - there's a Jack Kirby cover on an issue of love Romances that features long gloves - I'll see if I can find it... they're cool accessories for sure.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-33432386113827998842010-01-24T16:07:01.276-05:002010-01-24T16:07:01.276-05:00Jacque is right.

Sciatica would be a great compliment to me ! I was very disappointed the lead female character didn't wear white gloves in the story... I love long white gloves... hee hee !Runs.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-75690187758226771802010-01-23T19:10:26.439-05:002010-01-23T19:10:26.439-05:00KB: Man, this comic made me want to twist the nigh...KB: Man, this comic made me want to twist the night away. I really enjoyed it. Not quite the modern sensitivity shown to our overweight brethren back in ‘62, eh? What with a character named "Porky" being introduced as a "young, fat character" stepping onto the dance floor (he could really move for a fat boy, too). <br /><br />It killed me when that one guy had to ask, "Don't you like being kissed?" and Kathy says, "I don't know. Is that what it was?" Me, I would have probably tossed in the towel right there. I give the guy credit for taking another stab at it. <br /><br />I still say Kathy had the deal of her life, getting paid to demonstrate the twist; I don't care if it the place was actually a "gambling den." Great post and I enjoyed your commentary. -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-89012762677784067782010-01-23T03:26:52.338-05:002010-01-23T03:26:52.338-05:00From what I know, Chubby Checker debuted the dance...From what I know, Chubby Checker debuted the dance in the form we know it on American Bandstand. Like many American dance forms and moves, the twist has African roots which were appropriated by American pop culture...<br /><br />It seems like drawing people dancing is not the easiest thing to do, judging from this story!Jacque Nodellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14957976421163666671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-90979069656157731412010-01-21T22:43:10.786-05:002010-01-21T22:43:10.786-05:00He certainly does.

I also like the guy defying the laws of physics in the panel below Porky twisting.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-39490594180261774332010-01-21T14:50:32.415-05:002010-01-21T14:50:32.415-05:00Is there anything kids can do that adults won'...Is there anything kids can do that adults won't blame for all of society's ills? Seriously, though, in the upper right panel on page 4, "Porky" looks like he's having an attack of sciatica.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03555047330587368279noreply@blogger.com
