Flash!.....Aaaahhhhh!

This excellent Spanish site is dedicated to Flash Gordon in all of his incarnations, from the original Alex Raymond comics to the smutty European television show I used to watch when I lived in Denmark as a child. Practically every link is an eye-candy overdose.

Plop!

Back in the Seventies, DC Comics published a horror-humor anthology called Plop! The (New) Magazine of Weird Humor. They usually featured one of artist Basil Wolverton's patented ugly-headed freaks on the cover, and the stories inside were frequently illustrated by another Mad Magazine alum, Sergio Aragones.

You can find cover scans from all 24 issues of Plop! at the Booberry Alarm Clock (AKA Crotch Wizard).

The Descendants of Dirty Dingus McDuck

I learned a couple of interesting things from this swell Don Rosa illustration of Donald Duck's family tree:

1) Huey, Dewey, and Louie are illegitimate bastards.
2) Cartoon ducks, loons, coots, and grebes can interbreed.
