That is how this board remains the safest place to post. I don't need the chaos that other boards bring. They should take notes from this one on how a board should be run. No rules equals chaos!

I didn't realize this was a problem here. Hadn't really noticed. But it does irk when things are taken out of context, from a past we can't comprehend filled with people who had to survive in completely different methods, who lived with draft war and atomic death and madmen who wanted to take over the world, and judge the quality of their visceral, more restricted and censored responses to those external horrors through the so-called "modern" perceptions.

And more often than not, it is an easy target. Hell, you can take anything out of context and mock it. It is lazy and not anywhere as amusing as the posters always seem to think.

About two years ago, on a very non-comics forum I frequented, a thread
with much of this now forbidden retroactive humor surfaced. The running
assumption was that these were from Mad magazine or National Lampoon. I
pointed out that these comics were real and was met with severe skepticism.
The thread was archived, so I just pulled this quote from the responses
I received:
"Yeah, right. DC Comics couldn't be stupid/crazy enough to put out a
comic where Superman says "Pat Boone and Lois Lane are singing a new
song about me! It's a great tune, but I must use all my super-powers to
prevent it from becoming a hit!"
It's amazing how little people know about history. The assumption that
everything always was just as it is, is surprisingly pervasive.

"No sense of history" has been my lament for many a year now. If effectively defines pretty much everything that's wrong with the world in general, and comics in particular.

I couldn't agree more.
Unfortunately, I fear that the fanboys that have taken over the big two have
alienated the audience that would appreciate the values that were present in
the industry 20+ years ago. No one with this sense of history and propriety
has a place in mainstream comics any more.

There can never enough rules. The more rules, the more things stay in line.
