Thanksgiving turkey 2010

It's that day again...time to plop down, stuff yourself with food, fall asleep on the couch watching football. Yep, the traditional American Thanksgiving Day!

Here at Pappy's we celebrate by showing the most off-the-wall comic book story I've seen all year, the so-called Thanksgiving turkey. This year I've got a classic from 1944's Red Band Comics #1, featuring Satanas, one of the most bizarre characters to come out the comics (and that's saying a lot). He's from another planet; he comes to earth to do evil; he wears a wide-brimmed hat and a cloak--looking like a World War I-era cartoon of a bomb-throwing anarchist--has green skin and one cyclopean eye. That's bizarre, all right.

I'm the judge and jury here. You don't get a vote; sorry, but that's the way it is. "Satanas The Most Evil Man In The Universe" earns a solid three turkeys.

This is the fifth annual Turkey Award presentation. You can view the others by linking to them or clicking ont the pictures:
