While I cannot translate it, this PSA was essentially telling kids, “Use bats to hit balls, not cave in skulls.”

Reposting because this is a wonderful cultural exchange worth your time.

Did you know that at one point in the 90s the Polish government had an advertising campaign featuring gangsters with bloody baseball bats reminding kids that they can be used to play games too?

Neither did I!
Check out this bonus episode of DOES THIS COME IN CHROMIUM with the amazing guest Glitch, who was born in Poland during the rule of an authoritarian regime and taught himself English by watching bootlegged G.I. JOE tapes.

A living, breathing thing was burst out of balls?

I mean, I guess that’s technically partially true…
Alarming Tales no. 2 (Nov 1957). The GCD credits Joe Simon with this cover, which I’m a little dubious about. It has also been credited to Mort Meskin with George Roussos. Not sure about that either. Regardless, it’s a cool cover, with some nice, subtle grey shading. Interiors are mainly by Kirby.

Now I need to know if this Heckler cameo was in @alexsegura.com’s script or if it was @ciantormey.bsky.social’s choice?

Either way it rules!
Updated Heckler’s Wikipedia page again. I remembered he makes a blink and you’ll miss it cameo in The Question All Along the Watchtower #4. I also need to add that book to my collection.

A truly fun and fascinating conversation.

Learn what the Polish company which bought the rights to American comics considered the holy trinity of Marvel's 90s comic lines.

They just want an excuse to watch the halftime show over and over again.
Rep Mark Alford (R-MO) says House Rs are "investigating" Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show & talking with FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr. Alford says he didn't watch the whole thing & also doesn't know Spanish but suspects it might have been "much worse than the Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction"
