Here's one of the few copies of the variant cover for HOM 189 that made it into circulation before DC pulled the print run. Interesting article about this book in CBM 32 - apparently, no one seemed to realize they were going to use the image on the book posted above. screwy.gif

 

Only 1 of these on the census to date...probably the toughest BA DC horror book! cloud9.gif

Is there a link for any further info? I couldn't see any anything about this cover on the census or GPA.

Dr Banner, what happened to your altered version of that cover?

 

The link in the Infinite BA Horror thread doesn't work anymore... http://docscomics.com/hom173.jpg.

 

That was just a joke...the original is posted above. foreheadslap.gif

 

But it was funny. smile.gif

 

Yep, and a good joke never gets old, does it!?!? 27_laughing.gif

I think this thread needs to be deleted. I find it offensive and another example of religious proselytizing. You guys are just angry that "Christmas" keeps being taken off the store sale promos and are joining forces with Bill O'Reilly. In fact, I bet O'Reilly is behind this thread. FUELMAN is nothing but a front for his Christmas propaganda!!

 

We Jews demand equal time. Where are the Chanukah comic books!!!!! Let's start a thread on them right within this one. Here we go.

Well, ok, we don't have any Chanukah comic books damnit. 893whatthe.gifmakepoint.gif But that's not our fault. I'll tell you a secret. There are no Jewish comic books b/c all the Jewish artists are busy drawing these Christmas books!! So easy to make money off you guys. wink.gif893applaud-thumb.gif

 

LEGAL DISCLAIMER: Of course, the above comments have no substantive value. They are intended for humor value only. No offense is directed towards or should be taken by anyone. No persons of religion were harmed in the drafting of this statement.

 

 

 

Now, if anyone asks you what the difference is between Christmas and Chanukah you will know what and how to answer!

 

 

1. Christmas is one day, same day every year, December 25.

 

Jews also love December 25th. It's another paid day off work. We go to the movies and out for Chinese food and Israeli dancing. Chanukah is 8 days. It starts the evening of the 24th of Kislev, whenever that falls. No one is ever sure. Jews never know until a non-Jewish friend asks when Chanukah starts, forcing us to consult a calendar so we don't look like insufficiently_thoughtful_persons. We all have the same calendar, provided free with a donation from the World Jewish Congress, the kosher butcher or the local Sinai Memorial Chapel (especially in Florida) or other Jewish funeral home.

 

 

2. Christmas is a major holiday.

 

Chanukah is a minor holiday with the same theme as most Jewish holidays. They tried to kill us, we survived, let's eat.

 

 

3. Christians get wonderful presents such as jewelry, perfume, stereos, etc.

 

Jews get practical presents such as underwear, socks or the collected works of the Rambam, which looks impressive on the bookshelf.

 

 

4. There is only one way to spell Christmas.

 

No one can decide how to spell Chanukah, Chanukkah, Chanukka, Channukah, Hanukah, Hannukah, etc.

 

 

5. Christmas is a time of great pressure for husbands and boyfriends. Their partners expect special gifts.

 

Jewish men are relieved of that burden. No one expects a diamond ring on Chanukah.

 

 

6. Christmas brings enormous electric bills.

 

Candles are used for Chanukah. Not only are we spared enormous electric bills, but we get to feel good about not contributing to the energy crisis.

 

 

7. Christmas carols are beautiful...Silent Night, Come All Ye Faithful...

 

Chanukah songs are about dreidels made from clay or having a party and dancing the hora. Of course, we are secretly pleased that many of the beautiful carols were composed and written by our tribal brethren. And don't Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond sing them beautifully?

 

 

8. A home preparing for Christmas smells wonderful. The sweet smell of cookies and cakes baking. Happy people are gathered around in festive moods.

 

A home preparing for Chanukah smells of oil, potatoes and onions. The home, as always, is full of loud people all talking at once.

 

 

9. Christian women have fun baking Christmas cookies.

 

Jewish women burn their eyes and cut their hands grating potatoes and onions for latkes on Chanukah. Another reminder of our suffering through the ages.

 

 

10. Parents deliver presents to their children during Christmas.

 

Jewish parents have no qualms about withholding a gift on any of the eight nights.

 

 

11. The players in the Christmas story have easy to pronounce names such as Mary, Joseph and Jesus.

 

The players in the Chanukah story are Antiochus, Judah Maccabee and Matta whatever. No one can spell it or pronounce it. On the plus side, we can tell our friends almost anything and they'll probably believe that we are well versed in our history.

 

 

12. Many Christians believe in the virgin birth.

 

Jews think, "Yossela, Bubela, snap out of it. Your woman is pregnant, you didn't sleep with her, and now you want to blame God? Here's the number of my shrink."

 

 

13. In recent years, Christmas has become more and more commercialized.

 

The same holds true for Chanukah, even though it is a minor holiday. It makes sense. How could we market a major holiday such as Yom Kippur? Forget about celebrating. Think observing. Come to synagogue, starve yourself for 27 hours, become one with your dehydrated soul, beat your chest, confess your sins, a guaranteed good time for you and your family. Tickets a mere $200 per person. Better stick with Chanukah!

 

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY CHANUKAH, HAPPY HOLIDAYS and all that jazz to all!
