"Herbie Goes To The Devil" - FORBIDDEN WORLDS #116

In this adventure, Herbie not only goes to the Devil, he meets Liz Taylor as Cleopatra as well. Cleopatra turned up in a number of comics in this period because of the Liz Taylor movie.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Frankenstien and Dracula were recurring characters at the American Comics Group. The original characters came from fiction and were in public domain, but the versions used in Universal horror movies were ( and are ) under copyright, so the ones used here could not resemble the movie versions too closely. 

 

 

Here we see a complaint about something in a Herbie story being impossible. But in the world of fantasy the impossible may be allowed. 

 

Another letter complains about formula stories. But a lot of fiction is done according to formula, Leonard Maltin's criticism of Terrytoons notwithstanding.

Obama's real life horror story continues.

On Monday evening, NBC News reported that President Obama wasn't just wrong, he was willfully lying when he said that if Americans liked their insurance plans, they could keep them under Obamacare. "(T)he administration knew that more than 40 to 67 percent of those in the individual market would not be able to keep their plans, even if they liked them," NBC News reported. To clarify, that's some 7 to 11 million Americans.

The administration, NBC News said, had known all of this since 2010. Even as President Obama repeatedly told the American people that nobody had to lose their insurance, he recognized that millions would lose their insurance. But just as importantly, the Obama-defending media knew all of this years before the 2012 election ... and they downplayed it or ignored it altogether. In June 2012, PolitiFact, a supposed nonpartisan fact-checking site, said that Obama's "if you like your health plan, you can keep it" language was "half-true." The media routinely ignored President Obama's provably false promise.

That always seems to be the case with the media, which ignored the Internal Revenue Service scandal, Obamacare lies, Benghazi, and the failing economy to boost Obama back to power. And now, the coverup continues -- a "60 Minutes" feature on Benghazi this week failed to mention either President Obama or then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. No wonder our power-hungry president thinks he can get away with anything. To this point, he has.
