It's never not a good time to contemplate the miracle of Les Baxter and his music.

Follies of the Madmen #196
This is a particularly egregious cut and paste job, even for the pre-Photoshop era. Never mind the far-fetched association of lady astronauts and booze.

Ranger Rick
Is Ranger Rick more ghastly and scary than Woodsy Owl? Your call!
You just know, of course, when he's seated at that computer he's surfing for furry porn.

Paco Rabanne Bathing Suits: 1966
[Click to enlarge. From Playboy for November 1966.]
Alex has begun a "weird bathing suit" meme, with his WOODEN BATHING SUITS post. I fear I shall have to see him his wood and raise him some plastic.

It's that time of year again when we roll out those holiday movies, pop mountains of corn, and gather the whole family in front of the TV to enjoy them yet again.Here's one of the (ahem) better offerings from 1964.

Lunar Fashion
Back in 1968, the artist Gianangelli unveiled these metal bathing suits that he described as the "lunar fashion from the year 2000." In hindsight, his belief that we'd still be going to the moon in the year 2000 was more wrong than his fashion prediction. [Calgary Herald]

Not a song, but still another entry in our fine old catalog of comedy that nowadays would have the PC-minded bearing down on you faster than a truck full of tortillas on Cinco de Mayo.
