Oddity of the Week

Source: "Immediately following WWII, super-heroes seemed unnecessary to the general public and supernatural horror became the status quo. The people at Marvel quickly shifted Cap’s tone to fit the market, retooling it into Captain America’s Weird Tales. Retooling it so much in fact, that the final issue of Captain America Comics (#75, Feb. 1950) did not even have the star-spangled hero within its pages."

Instead of Captain America, it has a green yeti-like monster who is the titular thing in the chest.

I'm reminded of the yeti from the 1982 film "Creepshow" - which came out of an opened crate in a similar way.  Was this 1950 comic the inspiration?

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Why is it that the most famous hairy hominid of all time, Patty from the Patterson-Gimlin film (previously blogged about here, here, and here),  is so often depicted as male?

It's not a he, she's a SHE!

Today I say we raise a glass in her honor.  Oh, and Ireland's, too, if that floats your boat.

A Pair o' Patties

Kids Cartoon: The New 3 Stooges

The New 3 Stooges (1965), episode "The Abominable Snowman":

Green yeti like Popeye's!

"Hello. Would you play with me? I'm fun."

"Say, what are you anyway?" "Well, I dunno, I'm just a cartoon."

"I can be anything!"

The yeti then proceeds to turn into all kinds of random things: a penguin, a dancing bear, a Wild West villain, etc.

At the end, Larry transforms into the yeti, much to Moe's dismay.

Hulu has the episode.

Mr Yeti by Michael Robertson

BONUS: Green Yetis

Because of the Irish diaspora in my country, there is an association with the color green for me on this day.

Hence, green yetis.
