Cover Contest June 26 to July 2: Those Darn Kids!

[CaptCleghorn]

It might be better to wait until entries are closed before posting additional covers so no idea is taken. And yes, I am being "that guy" right now, God have mercy on my soul.

[Güicho]

Not an entry of course, but still fun

I'm surprised that while DC had the licence (and potential for crossover) , they didn't try an issue where the Sweathogs become some sort of Superheroes.
Either in some form of dream sequence, or comedic accident situation paralleling the Challengers of the Unknown or like the F4, caught in some science lab/boiler-room experiment gone awry, giving them outrages temporary powers.
Or even some kind of self-made characters analogues of the Teen Titans, being published at that time.


Robin- Vinnie Barbarino
Kid Flash - Boom Boom Washington
Speedy - Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein
Aquald - Arnold Horshack -
Wondergirl - Rosalie "Hotsie" Totsie

Mr. Kotter and Julie as some kind of Superman & Wonder Woman Mentor role.

And Woodman as the villain.

Edit: Couldn't resist ^ obviously not a real cover.

[Scott Taylor]

That cover brings back great memories of the show!

RIP Marcia Strassman (Julie Kotter), Ron Palillo (Arnold Dingfelder Horshack) and Robert Hegyes (Juan Luis Pedro Felipo de Huevos Epstein)

And Mr. Woodman, I guess. Lol

Aren't you suppose to add "Get off my lawn!"?

My reputation is such that "Get Off My Lawn" is understood in everything I say.

[MajorHoy]

Now, how many people remember when it was not uncommon for phone numbers to be written / said with a word prefix instead of just all numbers?

Raises his own hand.

[Iron Maiden]

Yep.....I still recall my parents number was Turner 25688, written as TU 25658. Had to be able to recite it in order to be in kindergarten as I recall.

[CaptCleghorn]

My town had prefixes of 342, 343, and 345 and the 34 went with the city's name of Fitchburg. Although we used diamond as the "codeword". The neighboring evil town of Leominster had prefixes of 534 and 537. Evidently there was some thought put into this system at the start.

Heck, I remember back before my town got 7-digit phone numbers (whether or not the first two digits were letters or numbers). When and where I grew up, there weren't dial telephones. Our number was 712-R, because it was a party line. You had to ask the operator to call it for you. I'm old, and I lived in the sticks.

Thank you for your attention to my geriatric rant. We now return you young whippersnappers to your regularly scheduled discussion of comic book covers.

I know in my area in NJ we had "Pilgrim" as the prefix (for 74), though I always said "74" instead for the start of my number. I remember "Pilgrim" more from business advertisements in phone books and such.

And we didn't have any outhouses around where I lived, though I have heard of homes in small places from Kentucky and Tennessee that still did back in the 1970s (at least according from some buddies who were younger than me who grew up down that way).

[Iron Maiden]

going to use a different cover. ignore

[Tami]

Could have sworn I saw that cover used already, but maybe i was mistaken.

Heh. I can honestly say both alphanumeric numbers and zip codes preceded my birth (but not by much ).

You're thinking of last week's contest! I'd say it fits both themes.
