Make Money Get Prizes

I loved comic books when I was kid. I loved everything about them, even the ads.

Omigod you could buy the coolest things like toy soldiers and a 7-foot long nuclear submarine.










You could get free money...





and tips on how to score!









And in case you were a wimp and kids pushed you around on the playground Charles Atlas could make you a new man like he did for Mac.
















Or you could join the Black Dragon Society and then your hands would become deadly registered weapons.














And I used to read the ads and look at all the cool prizes you could get from selling things, like bow and arrow sets. I think I ordered some seeds once but I never sold them. And has anybody actually ever bought or sold Grit magazine? The thing has been freakin' published since 1882.





Whatever happened to the dorky kids who gave their testimonies? I think that's a good research project.

Humanzee





I watched a program on Oliver the Humanzee. Many people thought he was half human and half ape. He walked upright just like us.












Then my friend Emily's dad was in town and he told me about Joe Stalin's efforts to breed a superhuman race of warriors by crossing humans with apes. Link

It all reminds me of this book me and my friends read when we were in Junior High called Mankind, Child of the Stars. The author said spacemen came down to earth and did it with apes and that is where we came from.




I searched for this book for 20 years and then when I finally found it my wife told me she hated me.

Note: This book should not be confused in any way with the professional wrestler Mankind. No one knows what hell he came from.
