As Usual, Jack Was There Before Us

I'm awake! First time i've gotten more than 2-3 hours of sleep in a single block in weeks. Kinda forgot what that was like.
 Others are busy not forgetting.

A lot of folks in this country (the USA) got their first introduction to Guy Fawkes, or "Guy Fox" as many seem to believe, in the movie V For Vendetta. And most of those folks don't seem to realize that he was an actual person from history, and one of your more bizarre holidays.

Fortunately, Jack Kirby is here to educate as well as entertain. Let's jump back almost 75 years to Headline Comics #23 and Jack & Joe Simon will learn ya some -


Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot...

I Know Of No Reason...

Tomorrow is the 5th of November.

As a Public Service, to help minimize national embarrassment, please take note:

This is NOT a Guy FOX mask!

 Carry On.
