Crazy Eyes

Sometimes I look through old yearbooks and wonder, “What in all that is holy?”

My best guess here is that these fellas are wearing Groucho Marx glasses. Except that there aren’t any glasses at all. And Groucho was neither blond nor ginger. In fact, Hirschfeld drew Groucho with facial hair as black as night.

So I’m terribly vexed.

    1. Let’s see: WWII had just ended, and Groucho was Jewish, so maybe these guys picked the masks up overseas, where the Nazis had Anglified the Groucho glasses, so that they could wear them but still be all about white power.

  1. I too am vexed, Kerbey. Even the two without extra facial accoutrements look crazy. They are all most certainly drunk. Hope they’re drinking something fun.

      1. “Killers from Space” that is the movie I was trying to remember. Google it and you will see some relatives of your Marty Feldman looking buddies. I can’t include a picture. But you can see plenty on Google Images.
