Happy Halloween From HGP!

Now go out there and TP the hell out of Hitler's lawn!


Edison Bell and Jerry take a potshot or two at the Axis-O' Lanterns in 4 Most, vol. 2, #4, with art by Al Plastino.

Olaf gave me a treat this year with this pic. I feel really bad for soaping his windows now...

No-Theme Week, 5 days in!

I haven't been to the incredibly cool Strange Maps in a while, and I feel like I should more often. Because you never know when you're going to see a map--

...choking Hitler like a bitch.

To those that object to the use of the term "choking like a bitch" as sexist and or offensive, just remember the Indiana Jones rule: "If it happens to Nazis, no one is offended."

Thanks to Carmen (who holds the dubious distinction of being the non-family member that I have known the longest in my life) for the link.

No-Theme Week, Day IV!

As alert reader (and avid Billy Joel fan¹) Kaleb pointed out yesterday on the HGP Facebook page,² "No Theme" is a sort of theme. So by not having a theme, I have a theme, and therefore have not stuck to my theme.

I have failed again.

On an unrelated and therefore related note, here's a picture of Hitler getting indigestion due to the machinations of Senator Claude Pepper:

1. You're going to sue me for libel, aren't you Kaleb?
2. Which I have been forced to name "H1tler Getting Punched" because apparently the thought of hurting Hitler offends people.

No-Theme Week, Part 3.1415926535....!

I hope this has little to do with yesterday's...


...otherwise, I've ruined the theme. Just like that urchin has ruined Hitler's chamber pot.

Thanks to rcs

No Theme Week, Day 2.7182818284590....!

Eat your heart out, Al Jaffee:

Click to enlarge.

I post this because it in no way relates to yesterday's entry. And because I used to love those old Mad fold-ins.

I hope I can keep up this lack of theme for a whole week...

Thanks to rcs, who discovered this here.

No-Theme Week, Day 1!

As yesterday attested, the only theme this week is No Theme. And what better way to celebrate a week with no set identity than with a country that has the same quandary?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you:

JOHNNY CANUCK, CANADA'S GREATEST HITLER PUNCHER!

Image taken from "Johnny Canuck in Berlin," written by Leo Bachle, published in Dime Comics No. 2.

Olaf contributed this pic, which he found here.

Not Postcard Week! Day Zero!

Last week wasn't Bayonet Week, and today isn't a theme week at all!

Have a great NO THEME AT ALL WEEK!

Olaf submitted this postcard, about which I don't really have any other information other than it's signed "FREDERIK."

October Revolution Week, Day 9!

Well, I figured I'd run this one a little later in the day, because our semi-quasi-occasional guest contributer, one Flex Flexerson, has thrown down a gauntlet.

So, I bring you the final installment of October Revolution Week +2 Days:

"As you sow, so shall you reap."

Okay, apparently it literally translates as "What you sow, that you harvest," but that sounds like it was translated by a machine.

Thanks, Mark. I think I've finally squeezed all the Hitler I could out of this link.

The Official Car of HGP

Now, I know Wolter. He's a good man. A brave man. A man who isn't afraid to start a blog that collects media of Hitler getting punched and otherwise abused. A finer Christian I know not. But, he's also a terrible, terrible communist sometimes. Why? Because he doesn't own a car. Luckily, I have found the official vehicle of Hitler Getting Punched:

That's right, it's the Face Punching Mobile (no known credits). I would assume that it was invented in a top secret lab run within the fearsome Antarctic base the Allies constructed in 1942. (note: this history is 100% true).

Now, friends, I throw down the gauntlet! Doctor this graphic. DOCTOR IT TO HELL and make it punch Hitler. Any submissions will be posted. If we receive none, Wolter will cry. And no one wants that.

Onward, HGP soldiers.

October Revolution Week, Day 8!

"In Russia, Week Has Eight Days of You!"

Ugh. I apologize for that.

Anyhoo, moving on to more of this NOT IN ANY WAY A BAYONET WEEK, we have another one from our old friend(s) Kukryniksy:

"Strike in his heart!"

And strike in my heart they did.

Mark carpetbombed my heart when he sent me this link.

October Revolution Week, Day 7!

Well, Adolf: it turns out you actually are their stepping stone.

"Allies With Us"

This dynamic representation of the Yalta Conference was in that magical link Mark provided.

October Revolution Week, Day 6!

That's right. Despite evidence to the contrary, this is October Revolution Week, NOT Bayonet Week, part deux.

"Our blows become stronger every day,
East will be Hitler's grave, and West will be his trap."

Once again, I restate: Mark, who is CLEARLY an avowed Communist who hates the troops, provided the link for this.

October Revolution Week, Day 5!

That's right, I've managed to end up five days in to a Russian Propaganda poster monsoon. Better get your umbrella out because the 5-day forecast is looking up:

"On the Moscow, Hoh, from the Moscow, oh!"

Thanks to Mark (Happy Belated Birthday, by the way), for giving me the link that keeps on giving.

October Revolution Week, Day 4?

Yeah, I know I haven't called it that yet, but it's October, and I've been tossing out Russian Propaganda Posters like it's my job.

God how I wish it were my job.



This one has the benefit of also doubling as a bayonet picture (I am NOT doing another week of those..).

The poster translates as "Decisive Step." If Hitler really was deciding to step into a whole mess o' bayonets, I sure as hell wouldn't stop him.

Thanks to Mark. Like all the posters this week, it's from this link he sent me.

Impromptu Propaganda Poster Week, Day 3!

Man, say what you will about the Russkies, they had kickass propaganda posters back in the day:

Translation: Every Hit of the Hammer is a Hit on the Enemy

Alternate Translation: Big Red Dude Bombs the Hell Out of Hitler With a Magic Anvil.

Thanks to Mark for discovering this link.

Not Actually A Punch...

Unofficial Russian Propaganda Poster Week enters its second day with this:

Translation: Take This!

He's not actually punching Hitler, just shooting the figs at him. But we know what's coming, don't we?

I'm probably going to turn this into a theme week, even if the week started on Friday. After all, it's October, so I guess we can honor the October Revolution or something.

Both rcs and Mark sent this in. I assume the both found it here.

I'm Tired Of Phoning It In...

I wanna MAKE WITH THE PUNCHES!


Translation: Blows From Three Sides Will Finish Fascist Germany

Alternate Translation: Fuck. Yes.

Also: I want those Soviet cufflinks.

Thanks to Mark, who found this slab o' rad here.

Phonin' It In Week Question:

I'm probably misinterpreting this, but...

Am I watching the Campbell's kid training to battle Hitler?

Thanks to Olaf for this pic, which I have no more information about.

It's Beginning To Feel a Lot Like Christmas

...around Chicago at any rate. The last few days have been chilly.

Which brings my thoughts to some of the delightful holiday memories I have of growing up: trimming the tree, sneaking out of bed to see if Santa came yet, eggnog (delicious without booze as a kid, even better with as an adult), thinking I was done with my presents only to have my dad bring out just one more, and of course....

The Traditional Christmas Rhino Attack.

Ali found this here.

Am I Just Phoning It In This Week?

...because I just don't even have the energy to punch today:


Maybe I'll put some more effort in tomorrow.

Barring that, does anyone have a whoopie cushion I can borrow?

Thanks to Ali for alerting me to this, which she found here.

Just Another Monday Hitler-Lynching

Nothing to see here...



I was originally aiming for a Columbus Day tie-in, but if I don't get the day off from work, you don't get a theme.

Thanks to Ali, who got this from that very confusing Hitler Library. No idea who drew it, when, or where, though.

Well, This Is a Doozy...

Okay, Golden Age. You are really hard to explain sometimes.

Short version: Private Dogtag (The World's Dumbest Soldier) is invisible due to some potion and he's flying after Hitler in an indestructible plane with his lucky ring to...oh, nevermind. Just watch:
















Dogtag was drawn (or, mostly not drawn) by Bart Tumey. The entire story can be found here.

Thanks to Olaf.

Hey Hitler, I got a match...

...your face and my butt!

HA HA!


Burn.

Sorry it's not clever today. I was consulting Dr. Scotch while I wrote this.

Thanks, Ali. And thanks Hitler Library. Unless you're pro-Hitler. In that case, drop dead Hitler Library.

HGP - INJUN' STYLE!

I always feel really awkward posting some of these pics, because there is a great deal of racial insensitivity floating under the surface. It was a different time, with different social mores. I mean, a newspaper comic starring a character named Big Chief Wahoo who could complain about having to cook by saying "Ugh! Squaw work!" is not exactly PC, or even socially acceptable these days.¹

But have that same stereotype put an arrow in Hitler's ass?

"Ugh. Wolter like. Brave work."

Big Chief Wahoo was created by writer Allen Saunders and artist Elmer Woggon,² and usually appeared in newspapers under distribution from Publisher's Syndicate. Cover taken from Famous Funnies #102. For the record, Famous Funnies is usually considered the first newstand "comic book."

Thanks to Olaf for the tip-off.

1. Note that I didn't even mention Tojo/Hirohito. Honestly, it would be easier just to point out when the Japanese WEREN'T portrayed by racist caricatures.
2. So at least the "Wog" signature is not another random racial slur.

The Flamingo!

This is a pretty damn cool piece of work by illustrator Paul Sizer:



A description from his DeviantArt page:

The REMAKE/REMODEL thread is re-activated at Warren Ellis' WHITECHAPEL forums, and it was missed, but the time off recharged people's batteries, so it's all good. Here's this week's description of THE FLAMINGO:

"From Contact Comics in 1944:
Colonel Moore Williams knows the enemy is easily terrified by the strange and unknown, so he becomes the superhero known as the Flamingo! He has no powers and is only armed with his intellect, his physical strength, his service revolver, and a specially built plane. He uses his new identity to accomplish things the military cannot."

Because people punching Hitler NEVER goes out of style, I decided to make my Flamingo be a defender of America and a champion for the gay men in the armed forces, most of whom were not able to be "out" with their sexuality in that time period. I figured that he would have a special grudge against Hitler's Nazi regime, based on the fact that homosexuals were persecuted as much as the Jewish and Roma people during World War 2.
The pink triangle was used by the Nazis to identify homosexuals in the concentration camps, and the symbol has been re-purposed by some gay support groups in modern times, hence why I have The Flamingo wearing the triangles as a sign of defiance and pride.

Fake comic book cover for the thread.

Pencils/Inks: MANGASTUDIO EX 3.0
Colors/FX: PHOTOSHOP CS2
Graphics: FREEHAND MX

It also comes in poster form. And though this one isn't available, you can purchase another, very kickass anti-Nazi poster from that same profile.

Thanks to Olaf for the link.

Captain Marvel: Way Too Nice

Billy, you're going to have to do better than this...

"Well, to be perfectly honest, you really should be punching me."

Captain Marvel puts the Axis to the test in his own self-titled Adventures, #21 with art by the inimitable¹ C.C. Beck.

Thanks to Olaf.

1. Okay, he's probably been imitated by hundreds of artists over the years.
   

Hello,

...I'm Johnny Cash.




Thank you once again to Olaf. This made my day.

When Boxing Gloves Are Not Enough...

Joe Palooka did some good work yesterday. But he needs to finish the job.

Joe Palooka trades in the gloves for hot lead in Joe Palooka #2, with art by Ham Fisher.

Thanks, rcs.

Get In The Ring!

No, I'm not referring to Axl Rose's petulant and childish attack on music journalists on Use Your Illusion II.

I'm referring to another famous redhead's justified and proper attack on fascist scumbags:



Joe Palooka stings like a B-29 in Big Shot #32, with art by Ham Fisher (or more likely, one of his assistants).

Thanks, Olaf.

I Don't Know Exactly What To Say About This One...

But I'm assuming a place where A JACK KIRBY MICKEY MOUSE IS PUNCHING HITLER...



...is a very magic kingdom indeed.

Thanks again to the ever-prolific Olaf. And remember, you can submit your own Hitler-Punching Art to HitlerPuncher AT gmail DOT com.

Hey Thing: What Time Is It?

Well, thank you.

And thank Olaf for this little bit o' photoshoppery.

Some Cerebral Mockery of Hitler...

...from three of America's greatest social critics:



Although I really wish there were more punching. I guess they're too highbrow for the likes of me.

Still taken from the Stooges short "You Nazty Spy." Thanks to Sauza Paul for the image.
