| Thank you for the upload, Pyramid, of this amazingly prescient comic book ... from SEVENTY YEARS AGO! |
|

|
| I have some vague memory of someone actually giving me this when I was very young.
I think it had the opposite of it's intended effect. |
|
| Thanks, Pyramid, for this timely message from the Golden Age of Comic Books. |
|
| Has anybody else noticed that the details in the [Additional Information] box have absolutely nothing to do with this comic?! |
|
| Yikes ...The Australian Panther! I got so involved in reading this horrific comic, that I never noticed that. Thank you. The description was from Walt Disney Scamp #24, from July 1975. |

| I loved the artwork despite some wacky perspective issues & gave this a 10. But the story's logic is debilitating.
So this single mom paid income tax & Church charity and what did she & her son get for their money? NOTHING at all, yay so who are the recipients of that generous income tax & "charity"?
And the son who was abandoned by his ***** father becomes forever celibate.
Also curious what the heck the mother was supposed to do other than find a new daddy as fast as possible for her son?!? So many questions in my mind.
Anyway thanks for the free entertainment. |

| It's difficult not to remember that while this was circulating the book's hero (which was the organization, not the Man Upstairs) was quashing complaints of sexual abuse of children and quietly sending outed perpetrators to new postings instead of punishing them. Meanwhile it was also running a campaign to convince the world that they'd bravely resisted the Fascists when in fact they collaborated with Mussolini for years. Somebody said something once about casting the first stone. |
|
| The moral of this story is, above all, reproduce. Also, it is a little ironic that despite Satan being the "father of lies" here he's our teacher--and wearing a pretty sick outfit as well. |

| This is a strong pill for today's modern man, steeped as we are in secular values (so-called) and ideology. It's true, though. A broken family does lead to broken psychology and chasing after power to fill the void, the void being a soul without a connection to its Creator.
The Catholic Church teaches natural law and divine law, like divorce isn't permissible. Also physical love in a marriage leads to children, and has to stay open to it. |

| Some objections in the comments to the Church and this message, to clarify: 1. A single mother (which is not a natural position for a woman to be in, unless widowed) did possibly tithe to the Church, to help the poor, which is good for her soul and salvation. Income tax? That's the domain of the state. 2. She can't remarry because any lawful marriage is forever (unless death), it's a true spiritual union. Divorce is out of the question so how her husband obtained one is going outside of the Church. She still has her soul and her child's to save, even if her husband is a cad. God will provide, but that is a very difficult position. The charity of Christians will help her, like she helped by tithing. 3. The Catholic Church's cooperation with Mussolini has to be looked at in context of the wars, leftist ideologies, and oppression of the Vatican in Italy by the recently Freemasonic secular state. 4. The abuse crisis of children is abysmal and it was especially prevalent post-60s when Modernist priests corrupted the Church in many major ways, and carelessly allowed pederasts to become priests. |
