Gremlins From the Kremlin?

You better believe it, brother.

A medley of screen captures from the Bob Clampett directed Warner Brothers short Russian Rhapsody, for you.


You can find the full cartoon on youtube here.

Thanks to Ali.

Just like Forrest Gump...

...Hitler was all over the place in the 60s.


I don't know about you, but Neil's piece of original historical Hitler-sufferin' just won my heart and mind...

EMERGENCY! Calling All Hitler Punchers, Worldwide!

We interrupt today's Hitler-Punchery for an ALL POINTS BULLETIN!

Hitler might not have died in that bunker after all.

We've been had folks! Get your knuckles lined up and report for active duty. We have punchin' to do.

Remember: if you find and punch Hitler, please provide visual proof. Send any photos or artists renderings to HitlerPuncher AT gmail DOT com.

Be vigilant. An unpunched Hitler is a victorious Hitler.

Thanks to Neil for the art from earlier today AND this link.

Calling Oliver Stone!

New and disturbing photographic evidence has come to light...



Thanks to Neil for reminding us all that Normandy was an inside job. For his original Hitler art, he gets some HGP fun bucks.

More Style: DIY Olaf!

I have to admit it. I have a soft spot for Iron Maiden. Olaf knows this. And he's taken advantage of it:


He's also taken great pains to stress that this is in honor of the Paul Di'Anno years. Which is cool. I like all Maiden vocalists not named Blaze.

But I'm not the final arbiter of all things metal. Let's consult the expert...

What do YOU think of Olaf's pic, Ronnie James Dio?

Oh, hell yes.

More Olaf: DIY Style!

After Olaf knocked it out of the park yesterday, I thought I'd present you with She-Hulk knocking Hitler out of the park:

And yes: Olaf made this one as well. His HGP fun bucks Money Bin must be reaching Scrooge McDuckian levels of swimmability.

The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen

I normally don't put a second post up in a single day. But goddamn, Olaf just sent me The Greatest Thing I Have Ever Seen.

I present you with Aaron Bir's "History Reimagined."

His guidelines are simple:

I'm asking for three things from you dear reader:

1. a historical figure
2. a location
3. an awkward situation

If it makes me laugh or intrigues me it will be a comic on Wednesday.

And someone apparently dipped into my pscyhe:

The guidelines?

1. Adolf Hitler
2. High above Germany
3. Getting punched by a polio ridden FDR, in jet packs

Oh god, this is glorious.

More DIY: Olaf Style!

Olaf also knows how much fun it is to make your own Hitler-Punching pics. All it takes is a little Wonder Woman, a little Fuhrer...

...and a lot of pain.

Why not join in the fun? Send your original Hitler Punchery (whether drawing, painting, sculpture, photoshop, or dirty limerick) to HitlerPuncher AT gmail DOT com.

Olaf, have some HGP fun bucks.

HGP - DIY!

You know what I love about punk music? The DIY mentality. And frequent HGP contributer rcs was not getting enough Hitler Punching in his life. So, being punk as fuck...

...he did it his damn self.

That earns rcs some HGP fun bucks:

Spend them on vinyl records, sir.

Because rcs Demanded It!

Per rcs, regarding yesterday's entry:

bring the sketch!

Fine, here you go:


You big baby.

I kid. I just didn't want to spend the 32 seconds it took me to locate it.

Art by Neal Fox. You can check yesterday's entry for more info.

But, Did Peter Sellers Help?

Here's a fun little piece of anti-Hitler art:



Neal Fox created this piece of artwork for Goon Show co-founder and all-around comedy legend Spike Milligan's Adolf Hitler: My Part In His Downfall. And it enables me to somehow have TWO tags for Men Named Spike That Punch Hitler.

Longish credit: Olaf rcs sent me a sketch of this (which I subsequently have apparently deleted), but while researching it, I found the completed art.

EDITED FOR ACCURATE CREDITING.

Another Thing I Never Get Tired Of...

Napoleon/Hitler comparisons on Russian propaganda posters.



I know that's a pretty specific thing to not get tired of, but I'm a pretty specific guy.

Once again, I thank Olaf for this one, though I think Mark might have contributed this as well.

He Has a Kick Coming!

And so do I, for forgetting to schedule one for today.

Have a spare postcard:


Olaf and Ali were both on the ball I wasn't.

Fat Valkyrie Hitler Playing Card Violence!

Sorry, I wanted to see if I can write a spam headline as well as a machine. Like John Henry, only geekier.



Eagle-eyed Punchologists might recognize the art of Antonio Arias Bernal from the legendary¹ Bayonet Fortnight.

And even the most absent-minded Punchologist could probably make the educated guess that this was submitted by Olaf.

---

1. Well, legendary to me. That was a great time to be alive, I tells ya.

Keeping the Hammer Down

After yesterday's Thor submission, I figured I might as well give another hammer pic for you fine folks:


I've had this one on deck for a while, and I forgot how I know that the artist was named Jim Lavery, who is not the same person as this Jim Lavery.

Thanks to Olaf.

Bonus THOR'S DAY Content!

Well, in "celebration of Thursday," Olaf has given us some...

ORIGINAL HITLER ART!

I will never get tired of watching Thor stone-cold knock Hitler's block off. Literally.

You know I love this sort of stuff. So please submit your Hitler-Punchery to HitlerPuncher[at]gmail[dot]com. C'mon...Everybody's doin' it...

Original Thor art from the cover of Thor #3, by Olivier Coipel.

Sparky Watts Goes For the Trifecta...

And gets it!


Sparky Watts takes out the entire Axis on the cover of Big Shot #28, with art by the legendary Boody Rogers.

Thanks to Olaf.

You Know What I've Missed?

A Good Ol' Fashioned Hitler Beatdown!


Don't we all feel much better now?

Another fine piece of Hitler Punchery from cartoonist Willard Wetmore Combes.

Another thanks to Olaf.

"Do We Get To Win This Time?"

Um...John...

We won last time.

But, by all means...



Stab away!

This was created by Mike Samson, and can be found here.

Thanks to Ali.

Bear Week Epilogue?

No. Not really.

Technically, I suppose the Cubs aren't mathematically eliminated yet.

But Hitler is.

Thanks Olaf. I have no idea where you found this.

Bear Week 7: In It To Win It

If you got the title joke I just made, then thanks for reading, Chris Sims.*

But really, this entry IS going for the win, since it manages to combine BEAR WEEK, POSTCARD WEEK and BAYONET WEEK!


Goddamn, I love doing this blog sometimes.

Thanks to rcs.

*Yes, I am aware that In It To Win It is not the 7th entry in the Bring it On Series, but I haven't really been striving for accuracy this week.

Bear Week 6: Jason Takes Manhattan

Bears have had it too hard for too long.

Turnabout is fair play, folks.



Time to lounge around on a Hitler-Skin Rug!

This was created by Boaz Arad, an Israeli artist making a statement about reactions to the Holocaust.

And yes, I know this is stretching the premise to the breaking point. But this is HGP, people. You want subtlety, you're in the wrong place.

Thanks to Ali!

Bear Week 5: Nerds in Paradise

Before HGP is accused of partisan hackery in it's pro-Chicago Bears slant, allow me to present the following pic submitted by longtime reader and occasional contributor Mark:

I'm an Arizona Cardinals fan, but I can appreciate a good shot of a bear eating Hitler as much as the next guy.

Don't we all?

Per the website where Mark discovered this: the cartoon is basically stating that the Non-Aggression Pact will devour Hitler. I prefer to think this cartoon is stating that Hitler needs to be eaten by a bear.

Bear Week 4: Citizens On Patrol

Okay, at first glance, I was very excited to see another picture of a bear tearing Hitler a new one.

Then I realized they were dancing. Bummer.

Then it occurred to me: That bear is totally leading.


Way to sign a non-agression pact, Ginger Rogers.

Thanks to Olaf.

Bear Week 3: The Destruction of Jared-Syn

Nothing like a little trap-shooting to take away the Wednesday blues.

I have no shame about that pun. None. What. So. Ever.

This cartoon was created by the legendary J.N. "Ding" Darling.

Hat tip, Olaf? Even though you've had so many? Oh, why not?

Bear Week 2: The Quickening.

And unlike Highlander 2, this one is arguably better than the original (instead of the 3rd or 4th worst thing Connery has ever done):


Another cartoon by the talented Willard Wetmore Combes.

Who gets the hat tip? Why Olaf gets the hat tip.

It's Bears Week!

It's early September in Chicago as I write this, and that can only mean one thing: our baseball teams are pretty much out of contention. Which means the whole town has one thing in mind.

And with that, here's a nominally related theme that I'm pretending has relevance!

Bear down!

Olaf submitted this picture, by an artist named A. W. Mackenzie, about whom I know nothing else.

Merchandising Week 2, Day 7!

It's been a while since we actually had a real, honest-to-goodness PUNCH!



Tell me you didn't miss that. I dare you.

Oh, and that's a matchbook, in case you're wondering. I'd take up smoking for that.

Both Olaf and Ali sent this to me. Thanks for being on the same punchtastic page, guys!

Merchandising Week 2, Day 6!

Sometimes, it's good to be President.

According to this website:

"Jesse Jones, Secretary of Commerce from 1941 to 1945, gave this carving to Roosevelt during the first months of U.S. involvement in World War II. "

Thanks to rcs.

Merchandising Week 2, Day 5!

Man, how did it take so long to beat the axis?

Mussolini was apparently morbidly obese (but only in his neck), Tojo was jaundiced and had to constantly gnaw things to keep his mighty incisors the right size, and Hitler was only being kept alive by a voodoo curse.

I mean, If this battle set is any indication of accurate WWII history. And I think it is.

Another rcs gem from here.

Merchandising Week 2, Day 4!

I sincerely hope this Hitler Smashing Machine DOESN'T catch on:



Like John Henry, I'd be out of a job. But I'd go down swinging! At Hitler!

Olaf discovered this here.

Merchandising Week TWO, Day 3!

I still don't quite understand what a punch board is...

But I really want one.

rcs found this one here.

Merchandising Week TWO, Day 2!

Hitler Getting Punched...Board?

You bet!

Thanks to Olaf, who found this here.
