Flopcast 715: Big Bicentennial Issue

With the Mayor away on special assignment, it's a quick solo show with Kevin just yammering about comic books from 1976. Our collection of goofy 50-year-old comics includes: An evil space cowboy riding Superman, Harvey Pekar on the streets of Cleveland, the Joker and his pet hyena, Alfred E. Neuman as George Washington, Ronald McDonald in the Olympics, super heroes battling super gorillas, Andy Panda's tricky pal Charlie Chicken, and much more. Half a century ago, comic books cost thirty cents. But this podcast is free. All we ask is that you waste your time giggling about Aquaman with us.
