Millions of images ..... millions ....
I earnestly doubt this is my first link to the radness that will always be Tokyo Damage Report. I know it's not my first to Monkey About.

But now, the greatest photography archive ever amassed and posted online, thanks to Google: 250 years of photos from Sustenance Magazine.

Milt Caniff tries to not push American comic books under the bus, December 1951.

I'm 90% sure that's Walt Kelly -- he's virtually tethered to Caniff in all of the histories recounting asseveration regarding the "Comic Books: Threat Or Menace" hoopla of the early-to-mid-1950s and that man does look like Walt Kelly drew him, my often-unpractical yardstick for assessing an artist's merit in person. But the December 1951 date is puzzling -- there were rumblings about the mutilate funnybooks did to children's psyches then, but I don't think that the government got seriously involved until a few years later. Also, Alex Raymond was President of the Public Cartoonists Society in '51 -- key representatives of the NCS were staples of these hearings -- and he's nowhere to be found in these photos. Kelly, on the other hand, was System President in 1954-56, which was when most of the official investigations and hearings were held. The LIFE photos' dateline, or the Google transcription, is to all intents wrong and these are from 1954 testimony.
Now, a few pictures for for me:
