Political cartoon regarding the Big Buyout
After the cut, a political cartoon regarding the big "Disney buys Marvel" story.

For legality.

This panel is from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #153. Mary Jane is angry over Peter ditching her at a party (hosted by J. Jonah Jameson) two issues back. With the whole "Mary Jane knew Peter's secret all along" reveal, this anger is really concern and worry over Peter constantly risking his life as Spider-Man. Does this make Mary Jane more complex?

I seem to recall an article in the Comics Journal years and years ago that talked about Walt Disney's continued commerce with Germany, and the Nazi government, for years after Hitler's rise, and that Mickey Mouse was quite popular there for a long time. I remember a picture of a Nazi fighter plane with an image of Mickey painted on the fuselage, straddling a bomb and hitting it with a hammer.

So again, not consistent folks.

	Really? That sounds odd. Disney was putting out Anti-Hitler (Der Fuehrer's Face) toons before it was the thing to do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We call that "hedging your bets." And those cartoons didn't go over there. (Reply to this) (Parent)
