1952 Comic Predicts Current Events...
This is amazing... this comic accurately predicts the events happening today...
Boing Boing: 1952 comic predicts Bush/Cheney Iran policy

I suppose some people will now want to start worshiping this comic and basing their lives off of it, because of it's incredible accuracy and unbelievable consistency...

Geez, where did you find that?

And I recently heard that someone predicted in 1986, the Internet would only last for one year (ending in 1987). Yeah, right. It is here to stay.

That is pretty amazing.

I guess it takes quite a fortune teller to...ummm...accurately and consistently predict something that hasn't actually happened, aye Tadpole?

Makes sense to me.
There is perfect symmetry here, since the administration itself seems to BE a 1950s comic book.
  • Everything and everyone connected with the administration is larger than life, but two-dimensional. No fully developed characters. Only archetypes.
  • This administration's war strategy has proven paper-thin, with plot holes that only children cannot see. And there is no end in sight. An ending means no more issues for sale.
  • Bush speaks in near-onomatopoetic soundbites. "Shock and awe." "Lessons of 9/11." "Cut and run." If he says anything longer than what would fit in a word balloon (or his teleprompter goes down), he trips up, stammering all over himself.
  • Cheney actually LOOKS like a supervillain. He already has the sneer and condescending tone down cold. All he is missing is a high-collared black cape, and a twirlable handlebar mustache.
