    An ancient Greek goes to a tailor to get his trousers mended. The tailor asks: "Euripides?" The man replies: "Yes. Eumenides?"

    I feel like the context was missing in whatever was funny about those comics that Cultist posted.

    The first one in from JUNGLE COMICS 13 - a "Fantomah" story by "Barclay Flagg" (actually Fletcher Hanks. His stories are almost fever dream like, and contain a lot of crazy elements (possibly due to his alcoholism). The entire comic - in the public domain - can be found in here - http://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=20769

     

    The second is from SPIDEY SUPER STORIES 53 - the Electric Company tie in comic. This has Doctor Doom trying to team up with Namor - http://ifanboy.com/articles/great-moments-in-comics-history-spidey-super-stories-53/

     

    I believe the Batman one is from "The Giants of Hugo Strange" from Batman #1. This is the last of the (wholesale) killer Batman stories as DC put a moratorium on Batman killing villains after this issue - even this early there were complaints about the effect of "comics" on "kids" (this issue in particular is more famous - not for this hanging - but for Batman machine gunning to death giants out of his Batplane). The story is also notable as yet another early Batman story lifted wholesale from another source (in this case, being taken from the Doc Savage story "THE MONSTERS" (May 1934)).

     

    Can't place the 4th one, alas.

    “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

    Quote

    "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

    Also as funny are the people praising the ad.  Good marketing I guess, but lucky they didn't choose the anthem :lol:

    I've got to say that as an Englishman i'm a little flattered, I never knew we and our language were so popular.

    Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

    I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.
