Politically Incorrect Yearbook Comics 1949

This is all in good fun, but folks would cry “domestic abuse” in this day and age.

49Comet007When I think of Mary Wana, I think of hippies, not high school students in 1949. My bad.
49Comet005Fun with intentional homicide!49Comet006Uh-oh, bestiality!49Comet004 Mental illness was a laughing matter.

Hints of polygamy…

49Comet008And the grand finale of I-Don’t-Get-Itness…a bowlegged sheriff fondling a cactus made of student’s heads, as a vulture flies overhead. Because that’s normal.

Dick With A Box

Yep, it’s another yearbook picture sans caption, so we are left wondering why Dick Van Dyke (or his twin) is carrying a box of problems up the aisle.

And why are there no chairs? And what a pretty cherry dress!

Here is the other half of the picture, showing a man in a cape behind Dick, fanning him with a palm leaf. What the what??

Coots Gettin’ Rowdy Up In Here, Up In Here

This pic might cause Ned to release the squirrel, because only Heaven knows what’s got Granny so riled up. Whatever it is, the woman behind her is not keen on it continuing. Did she find the Willy Wonka golden ticket? Is that her bus pass? Perhaps it’s a not-so-silent auction or a Tupperware bidding war? Shouldn’t they all be playing bingo? And what on earth is Rose Marie doing there?

By the way, you guys–did you know Rose Marie is still alive and kicking at 90? She’s older than Dick Van Dyke! Why does he get all the press? That is not very chim chim cheree.
