Merchandising Week TWO, Day 1!

Aren't you glad I didn't make an Electric Boogaloo joke?

ME NEITHER!

But I do have a Hitler dartboard for you!


That's right, after the rousing success¹ of the last Merchandising Week, I thought I'd return once more to the fray. For you!²

Olaf and Ali both gave me this one on separate occasions. I think they both found it here.

God I should have made an Electric Boogaloo joke.³

---

1. I define a rousing success as "anything that doesn't get me lynched."
2. But mostly for me.
3. Or at least added another superfluous footnote.

As You Sow...

...you know the rest.

This fantastic anti-Nazi cartoon was created by Stanislaw Toegel. More on him here.

Thanks to rcs, who discovered this piece of work here.

It's oversleeping Saturday!

I'm slipping. Once again, I forgot to schedule a post.

Since I was caught with my pants down...



I thought I'd return the favor!

Thanks, Ali.

HGP trivia: I just realized this pic was used by Hayden War for his Strummer Punching Hitler artwork.

Reasons to Never Stop Punching Hitler: He's Interfering With Our Healthy Desires

Man, there sure are a lot of things you can do with Hitler.




But I still like punching best.

Not sure who created the first picture, but the second was found here.

Thanks to The Alibear for "Givin' it Up" and to rcs for "Givin' the Thumbs Up."

Fictional Noseart Thursdays?

Yeah, that's a tradition that probably won't last.


But maybe it should.

A little backstory for this can be found here, and more art by its creator, Edward Byrne, can be found on his art portfolio.

Thanks to rcs.

GIANT FIST is back!

...AND HE'S ARMED.



This piece of what I can only assume is Soviet propaganda came from what I can only assume is an antifascist website.

I can only assume I should thank rcs for submitting this.

Not Hitler, but close enough.

Time To Tidy Up

As I mentioned a few days ago, lately I've been using Oblique Strategies to determine which pic to put up each day.

Today, I was told to "Tidy Up."


So tidy up I did.

This was another work by Kukryniksy, the collective name of 3 cartoonists. It shows the editors of Krokodil magazine dumping out the remains of the Nazis.

Apparently the three men in the top corner are self-portraits of the artists.

I think about 3 or 4 people sent this one in to me, but rcs sent it first. I'm just going to assume Ali, Mark, and possibly Olaf also sent it at some time, to be safe.

UPDATE: Emo Tarot Drag Queen Hitler Translated!

I just received this email from HGP Contributor Mark:

From a Dutch friend of mine:

"Kiele kiele kiele is some sound which has to do with tickling someone and is a bit childlike. So maybe "tickle, tickle, tickle" comes closest. De onvervulde droom van een onderduiker means the unfulfilled dream of a person in hiding. The first thing most Dutchies think about when they here the word "onderduiker" is that of the Jews during World War II."

She also included a little dig at our beloved language:

"You guys don't have a real word for "onderduiker"? Just "person in hiding", which doesn't really have the same feel to it..."

But, having made such a wonderful contribution to the gallery of Hitler abuse, I guess the Dutch are entitled to insult us just this once.

So thanks, Mark! The mystery of Emo Drag Queen Tarot Hitler has been solved!

It's Emo Drag Queen Tarot Hitler!

If I recall, the Hanged Man in a traditional deck means "surrender, martyrdom, or self-sacrifice."

In MY deck, the Hanged Nazi means...

"A Really Good Way to Spend a Monday."

I think the caption is in Dutch, and says something about the dream of someone in hiding. Anyone who actually has any knowledge of Dutch want to take a crack?
Thanks to Ali, who I too often forget to credit on submissions.

Better Late Than Never

Oops. I just realized forgot to schedule one for this morning.

In honor of that, I'm putting up a pic that I've had on deck since I started the site:



There. I put it up. I hope you're happy.

HGP continues its streak of daily posting, after all.

Superman plans to deal with the world's worst racist and the world's most racist caricature in one ironic swoop in Superman #17, with art by Fred Ray.

It's Avante Garde Ambient Saturday!

Geek disclosure: I've taken to using Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies to decide which picture to share with you.


I was very clearly told to give you this:

Olaf didn't tell me to put this up today, but he did let me know I should put this up someday. I don't have art credits, so if anyone knows, please contact me.

A Reminder...

While I have some reservations about it, Inglourious Basterds opens today.

Despite a few technical flaws, it is the closest thing to HGP: The Movie that will probably ever be made, unless my spec script, Captain America Beats the Living Crap Out of Hitler for Three Hours Straight, is finally greenlighted (unlikely, as one of my non-negotiable stipulations is that Cap is either played by 1) Yours Truly, or 2) A Clone of Steve McQueen, circa 1962).

The 1990s Have a Lot of 'Splainin' To Do

All I can say is...

...THE HELL?!?

Here's a bit of an explanation.

Insanity from Superman At Earth's End by Tom Veitch and Frank Gomez.

Thanks...I guess... to Olaf.

This is something else....

Ready for some oddity?

Here's Cosmo...

...the VICTORY BUG!

Cosmo appeared in The Secret Voice #1, written and drawn by Ronald Marcus in a story whose synopsis from the Grand Comic Database is worth quoting entirely:

An invisible super-intelligent insect uses his brain radio to direct Allied war strategy, send morale to Allies, drives Hitler to Hell with his voice, and helps build the atomic bomb.

Comics are awesome.

You can find more about Cosmo's only appearance here.

Thanks Olaf, you've blown my mind.
