Captain Marvel's favorite part of a woman
How inexplicable. This is from WHIZ COMICS# 51 in 1944. Odd little throw-away moments like this are one of the reasons why I love Golden Age comics. Marvel has been asked to judge a beauty contest, but why he's doing that with the tape measure is not explained.



The question may come up in conversation, "what is the sexiest part of a woman?" or "what is your favorite part?" Guys, as you value your life, immediately say, "Her mind, of course." Eyes or smile are answers you might also get away with. But if you say, "Her forearm and it should ideally be shorter than 29 inches," everyone will draw away from you and you will receive puzzled looks for awhile.

You're imposing current values on an older, stupider and more innocent era. In the old days, any man could go up to any woman randomly and demand she produce her forearm for measurement. If of an abnormal length, it was then his obligation to make sure she was put in the van to the processing center, where her body would be rendered for make-up to beautify women with less grotesque forearms.

And this is what we have lost with all our modern times and stuff. Sniff.
