Is it me, or were 50s-60s comics really freaking bad?

No one can convince me this wasn't the original THICCfag comic book.

Thanks to that Wertham shithead, comics in the 50s became pretty tame and sterile. If you count the first appearance of Superman as the true beginning of comics (since before that it was a medium only comprised of reprints of strips) then it was barely a twelve year old medium-- video games barely got decent plots if you want to count things like Chrono Trigger and such in twelve years since their conception-- before censorship brought it's ugly ass hammer down.

During it's initial decade, comics were branching out into other, unexplored genres before the Comics code. And with that avenue blocked off for a few decades more, unless you were Will Eisner or Walt Kelly, it was pretty fucking hard to do *anything* but banal garbage that was easily forgotten, or you were over at DC thinking up all the weird shit Superman was getting into.

I'm in the process of going through the original Dell/Gold Key/Whitman iteration of Turok and it's pretty damn good for a "comics code approved" era book. Though you can't go wrong with a premise about native americans fighting off dinosaurs

The CCA was inevitable anyway because the baby boom created a huge kid market and so it was simple economics that comic book companies would go where the money was.

Most of their characters also ripped off of existing franchises.

>Little Audrey
Little Lulu
>Herman & Katnip
Tom & Jerry
>Baby Huey
Junior Bear from the WB shorts
>Buzzy
Tweety Bird
>>
>>89399613
Several of Harvey's characters were licensed from Famous Toons and actually Little Audrey was a deliberate ripoff of Little Lulu after FT lost the license for her and decided to create their own clone of the character.
>>
As an adult, I finally figured out what Casper is supposed to represent, but as a kid I just thought he was a cute ghost dude that went on adventures.

It is kind of unnerving to think that someone could come up with the idea for this character.
>>
Little Lulu, Little Dot, Little Audrey, Nancy. Literally all the same character and all complete shit.
>>
>>89399645
Famous and Harvey agreed to a contract in 1951 to publish comics based on their characters, this agreement set the price of the comics, required at least six Little Audrey issues per year, and stipulated that Harvey could not run any lewd or offensive advertising in comic books with Famous characters. It allowed Harvey to use their own original characters in conjunction with Famous ones, and each issue had to be submitted to Famous for approval prior to publishing.

Gluttony, sloth, and rich parents that enables her to spend their money on becoming a certified dance instructor for a career and THEN gain 300 pounds in a year. Have you guys ever watched the show? Its basically her sitting down in an arm chair saying its not her fault she's fat while literally stuffing her face 24/7 while her dad looks on crying.
