... Sciences! Think Gene Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds. Think Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour!OK, I’m done. Fey was probably overcommitted or working on a Sarah Palin book.

... red cheese" himself - Captain Marvel - present, but Hollywood favorites Bob Hope & Dorothy Lamour were also featured in his first story, and at the time, real world figures Adolf Hitler & Hermann Goering represented the bad guys. The voices of Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill and Chang Kai-Shek were heard "off panel" too. As always, the Catacombs is grateful...

Panu in "Phantom Lord of Tooth and Claw" (Fox Comics; 1950)

The Comic Book Catacombs (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009

This neat little back-up strip comes from Fox Comics Dorothy Lamour, Jungle Princess #4 (Oct. 1950), there isn't much information listed on this title in the GCD, but they do credit the late Wally Wood with providing artwork for this feature on the previous issue of the same mag.

The Road to Zimbabwe...........from Rico

Theo Spark (Free subscription) | 10/06/2009

Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, and Bing Crosby made seven "Road to" movies back in the 1940's. Perhaps the "Road to Utopia" most closely resembles Obama's current road movie. Hmmm...would Obama and Biden be good casting for the "Road to Zimbabwe" or would Bernanke and Geithner be better? In either case, Bawney Fwank is perfect for Lamour's part. Now, setting...
