How in the world did you get so many of those Salida's?

 

Another fantastic book! Thanks for showing!!!

I'd like to think it was natural charm and good looks. But there's a small possibility that my loaded .45 automatic played a part in the transactions.

 

I don't think this is a repeat. Just a Newsboy, though.

 

 

That's one of my favorite covers of all time - what a great book.

Great books!

I was hoping someone else would ask, but I'll have to be the fool.

 

What's happening on this cover? The solider is about to toss back a Nazi promotional frisbee? A German vehicle lost its hubcap and the soldier just scored a collectible? The soldier found a German land mine? If so, why didn't it explode when he handled it?

 

Duh.

The solider is about to toss back a Nazi promotional frisbee?

 

I'm going with this theory.

 

It's well known that the Nazis invented the Frizbee and the game Ultimate Frizbee. They just had a bit "deadlier" take on the sport. Ultimate Firzbee with firearms.

I believe that it was called Fritzbee at the time, later Anglicized for delicate post-WWII sensibilities.

You are correct sir. Thanks for the correction.

Well, what you've got here is actually an anti-tank mine, and you should know that only under the weight of a tank will these guys explode. BLAM!

 

A great story, that "Paper Tiger"!

Thanks for the explanation. (But why should I know that?)

I am appalled at your ignorance! Despite the popular belief that tortillas are a Mexican delicacy, this cover is proof positive that it was in fact the Germans who invented it. That object in the soldier's hand is actually a metal prototype for the common plastic tortilla warmer. You know, the variety that comes wrapped in a towel that the waitress at a Mexican restaurant delivers piping hot? The Nazis tried to get exotic when they buried the tortilla warmers in the dirt in the tradition of a Polynesian luau, but the allies thwarted those efforts and believed that this new discovery would revolutionize eating standards. However, in an attempt to pilfer the secrets to nuclear fision, the Mexican government inadvertantly discovered the tortilla warmer instead. . .and they have capitalized on it to great advantage. The tortilla warmer arguably has a more potent and quantifiable hold on the powers of the world than any nuclear weapon ever has. . .as well it should.

The question remains -- flour or corn?

Pish, tosh, I still say it's a Fri(t)zbee.

[thirdgreenham]

...or maybe it's a tortilla warmer....

[Silver]

and now for something completely different ....

 

[Silver]

This count as a war book?

 

[Jeffro.]

No.

 

And I want someone to tell me why Superman has to wear a helmet?

[selegue]

No.

 

And I want someone to tell me why Superman has to wear a helmet?

 

To keep his head warm.
