Comic Book Journal

How have we become so politically correct? Maybe it is the melancholy of fall; maybe it is the responsibilities of the office which leaves me yearning for a sense of nostalgia. I long for a simpler time when Superman Soared through Smallville for a Susie Q, or when Batman saved Gotham City for nothing but a Twinkie. The last time I can remember an ad from the food industry ventured into the comics genre was when Jell-O-Man teamed up with his sidekick Wobbly in an adventure series brought to us by who else, Jell-O. As you read the latest Action Comics or the new and improved Justice League I encourage all of you to sit back, relax and wipe the golden remnants of Twinkie from your fingers while going back to a simpler time when comics were fun, snack cakes were healthy energy, and Bill Cosby still did Jell-O commercials.
