SUNDAY FUNNIES - MAD #6


click on any page and be able to read the balloons.


Here is MAD comicbook number 6. This issue pretty much set the pace or standards for the satirical comic book industry. The competitors tried to duplicate the look and the snafu but just didn’t get the inside humor, so to speak.

And another thing you just can’t duplicate and that is innovation.

By issue number six Harvey Kurtzman’s MAD that he had written almost every word had got the nod from the public. They wanted more of the uniqueness that only Kurtzman and his three artists could create.

The above cover was drawn by Harvey Kurtzman. The colors are dark and bold with a well lit center. He knew how to get your attention. Like most of his covers, it is slight reference to a story inside, this time the one drawn by Will Elder lampooning KING KONG.



The subscription page was drawn by Jack Davis. As usual it was detailed with snafu that you could study for hours and still miss something.



TEDDY AND THE PIRATES was drawn by Wallace Wood. Only the opening splash page is shown because I think on a previous blog posting I used it to talk about the rebirth of pirates.





MELVIN OF THE APES. I think John Severin did an excellent job portraying Tarzan, I mean Melvin, of the Apes to have animalistic habits, being raised by them and all. John’s MAD time would soon be over. I think he mostly went unappreciative by MAD lovers.






CASEY AT BAT is an old poem that Kurtzman and Jack Davis got their hands on. Davis is an expert artist at showing athletics in action. And to save money with a limited budget Kurtzman was an expert finding old public domain kind of things to publish.





PING PONG. Well, Kurtzman made a great lampoon of the movie KING KONG and Will Elder illustrated it and put his special trademark of many little details bits of chicken fat….our inspiration.

Chop Chop and Airplanes





Look! Here comes a plane pulling off the runway now. See Big and Little Kennesaw Mountains in the background?



When I think of Chop and airplanes I normally think of the Chinese character in BLACKHAWK comicbooks. The Blackhawk Squad was sort of a vigilante air-squad that had members from different countries who fought for justice and world peace. One of their members a Chinese was the only member did not conform to the blue uniform with the upside down L row of buttons across the chest. He wore his native Chinese clothes on missions. I think his name was Chop.

Below is MAD Comicbook's version of Black Hawk, the splash page, which was illustrated by Wallace Wood.

But the Chop we visited tonight had nothing to do with international peace keeping. The full name is Elevation Chop House. It is a restaurant by the runway of McCollum Airport in nearby Kennesaw with an upstairs and downstairs. We ate upstairs with a better view of the runway.

The food was pretty good. It was our son Adam's belated birthday dinner.

Touring Nursing Homes


Nursing homes are sad. It is a collection of people from all walks of life at the end of their road.

This past week we have toured four or five local nursing homes looking for a place for my mother-in-law for physical rehabilitation for her to regain her strength. She has been in the hospital for weeks.

In every one of the nursing homes we visited we saw scores of individuals in corridors propped up in their wheelchairs. Some were lifeless and rarely did we see one of them smile.

In every one we went the admissions officer fitted a certain profile: Female, pleasant looking, and dressed very stylish professional- and probably most importantly: a very warm sincere smile…. I think at one point or another each one tilted her head and warmly said, “Oooohhhhh”

The nursing staff mostly seemed like they were very caring people. As a rule they were friendly and seemed to go out of their way to make a resident comfortable. And they mostly spoke Tahitian accents.

I noticed some of the homes had big cages that covered a whole wall with live birds. I think if I there as a resident, that is where I would station myself, there in front of the birds to watch their interactions.

All the nursing homes had a big wall calendar with a schedule of events for the month. The last one had “Nail Time” every Friday. I wonder if that was to get a manicure or to hammer on a nail to take out your frustration? Old movies that were one time biggies were on the calendar almost daily. I looked in the room of the theater and was surprised there were only two or three chairs – wait! They would all be in wheelchairs, never mind.

They had trivia time, Name That Tune, religious or inspirational times more than once during the week.

About every other week one on one calendar had a dog time. It was called “Tail Wagging Day” or something near that. I think dogs were brought on for the elderly people to pet if they wanted. I hope none ever got snapped or growled at.

Sadly, the only ones that spoke were the ones that were confused. One handsome elderly man, who looked like he was a retired high ranking military officer, asked me, “How come you get to come and go as you please and I don’t?”

You Fools!


“You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”

Bob Dylan said that on this date 1966.

No, I was fooling you. Actually Abraham Lincoln said it on this date in 1849.

That explains why presidential terms are four years. It also explains why the visiting attendance number on my blog goes up and down like a yoyo.

My Hunter Genealogy Part 21


Hunter siblings, left to right: Dick, Stanley, Doug, Jack, Ed, Bus, Bee, and Herbert.


This section is about my grandfather's children, which are my uncles, aunt, and father. Because of a thing about the genealogy program Family Tree Maker will only list you with a number if you have off-springs my uncle W.C. Hunter was not listed but I manually listed him in order. His entry will look a little different than the rest. Also, W.C. is the only sibling not in the above photo, but there is nothing I can do about that.


242. HAROLD HERBERT7 HUNTER (FRANK PARIS6, WILLIAM A.5 TRAMMELL/HUNTER, JASON HENDERSON4 HUNTER, JOHN3, WILLIAM2, SAMUEL1) was born 12 Feb 1901 in , Cherokee Co, Georgia, and died 14 Feb 1976 in Marietta, Cobb, Georgia. He married WILLIE C. COLLINS. She was born 14 Aug 1901, and died 13 Sep 1973 in Marietta, Cobb, Ga.

Notes for HAROLD HERBERT HUNTER:
Herbert was born in Cherokee County, Georgia. When he was a toddler his family moved to Hunt County, Texas, for a brief time. Before he was five they were back in Cherokee County, Georgia.

As a teenager he was his brother Robert "Bus" boxing manager. They were considering professional boxing Bus was getting beaten too many times.

As a young man in Marietta, Georgia, where he spent almost all of his adult life, he became interested in airplanes and is considered one of Cobb County's first aviators. He owned several planes and owned his own air field near the corners of Austell, Floyd, and Hurt Roads. When he was just getting started he and some of his brothers would go to a neighboring city (ex: Rome, Carrollton, ...) and find a friendly farmer that they could use his land for a temporary air strip and sell brief airplane rides.

He married Willie COLLINS (Aug 14 1901
Oct 13 1973). Theylived most of their adult married life (if not all) on Delk Street in Marietta. For the first years the back of their yard's corner touched his parents back corner. Their neighbor was the Delk Family, which the street was probably named after. Ironically, his neighbor the Delks were his biggest competitor in the downtown barber shop business.

Herbert owned a barber shop on Church Street named "Hunter's Barber Shop" It had a crackerbarrell atmosphere where men would discuss politics and sports (mostly fishing). The barber shop was closed on Wednesdays. That was the day that Herbert went to lake Alatoona and fished. His boat was docked at Alatoona Landing.

i. ROBERT GERALD "JERRY"8 HUNTER, b. 26 Apr 1941, Douglasville, Douglas Co, Ga; d. 25 May 1966, , , , Viet Nam; m. LAURA ANN MIILBY, 1965.

Notes for ROBERT GERALD "JERRY" HUNTER:
From the magazine LOOKING GOOD DOUGLAS COUNTY, Vol 1, Number 3, March/April 1988. Article JERRY HUNTER: he gave his life. By Vicki Harsbarger.
Jerry Hunter, 25, was about to complete his 34th mission of the Vietnam War.
The two months he had spent in Vietnam had been filled with missions such as this one. Supply lines were sought, supply lines were bombed.
The F-105 was a one-man jet requiring much expertise of the pilot. He delivered his bombs directly on the targeted bridge. The enemy fire hit the plane, he bailed out. The pilots watched as the parachute disappeared from sight in the trees.
From the ground, a beeper signal was heard by the pilots. They attempted a rescue, but enemy fire struck from the area of the area where the parachute had landed. A second plane was hit, and the pilots were forced to return to base.
Two months later, American soldiers were able to search the place where Robert Gerald Hunter went down. Laos natives took the men to the place where his body was buried.
Jerry began his final journey home to be buried in the town where he was voted most talented of Douglas County High School; where he dreamed of one day attending the Citadel; and where of dream of becoming a pilot began with an essay written on how Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic would affect the future of aviation.
Awards came early for Jerry Hunter. He was honored with other superlatives at Douglas County High School, with his claim to fame the title of Most Talented. He was well known for his artistic talents, and worked as editor of the school yearbook. He starred in the senior play.
"If anything happens to him, he's doing what he wants to do", his wife of one year, Laura Ann Milby, had said of Hunter. His parents, Robert and Zelma, had suggested that he choose a line of work in keeping with his Citadel degree in business administration, but he would not settle for less than his dreams.
"He wanted to be the best." Zelma Hunter reminisces. "He always wanted to be a good pilot. He said if he made a good place for himself in the Air Force he would make a career of it or he would be become a commercial pilot," she said.
The handsome flyer passed all manner of physical tests toprove his fitness of pilot training, which he received at Moody Air Force Base in Valdosta following his graduation from the Citadel with honors. Minor surgery was suffered twice by Hunter in order to fly the F-105, Mrs. Hunter said.
"He didn't want us to worry," Mrs. Hunter says lovingly of her son. "I'd ask him on the telephone if he'd been shot at, wanting him to say no. He'd say, "Yes, but they missed. Don't worry about it, Mom, sometimes it's fun."
During the week while the Hunters awaited the return of Jerry's body, the Chamber of Commerce acting on a motion by Church of Christ Minister Richard Waggoner, passed a resolution recommending that the park be memorably named Hunter Park.
On July 18, 1966, the Hunters' hopes died with the news of their son's death and his returning body. On July 22, funeral services were held at the Church where Jerry became a Christian, First Baptist Church of Douglasville. The church was overflowing as the first Douglas County military and 11th Citadel victim of the Vietnam war was laid to rest.
Over 100 flags flew at Douglasville businesses, painstakingly placed there by the remembering hands of the Jaycees. The town was subdued as businesses closed for the afternoon.
As faces were in unison at Rose Memorial Gardens Cemetery toward the casket containing the remains of Robert Gerald Hunter, the sound of planes roared overhead, urging the mourners to gaze upward.
Four planes flew across the horizon in unison, three planes returned.

245. EDWIN TYSON "ED"7 HUNTER, SR (FRANK PARIS6, WILLIAM A.5 TRAMMELL/HUNTER, JASON HENDERSON4 HUNTER, JOHN3, WILLIAM2, SAMUEL1) was born 13 Aug 1911 in Marietta, Cobb, Georgia, and died 14 Jul 1988 in Marietta, Cobb, Georgia. He married ETHEL AMERICA "JANIE" PETTY 27 Feb 1937 in Marietta, Cobb, Georgia104, daughter of WILLIAM PETTY and FRANCES RIDLEY. She was born 06 Jun 1918 in Gillette, Campbell, Wyo, and died 24 Feb 1996 in Marietta, Cobb, Ga.

Notes for EDWIN TYSON "ED" HUNTER, SR:
Ed first worked at Glover Machine Works in Marietta where his father worked.
Ed first worked at Glover Machine Works in Marietta where his father worked.
He was in the National Guard. He had two memorable experiences in the guard: (1) He was guarding Calloway Mills against strikers - he was one of the guards guarding the residence of the Calloway Family. A man tried to break into their house. Ed and the man begin to scuffle and they fell off the porch. Ed fell on top of him and it killed the man. He had to appear in front of Governor Eugene Talmadge for him to officially pardon him for the murder. And (2) another time he was guarding the Governor's Mansion in Atlanta. He had orders not to let anyone in unless they had proof of business or an official pass. Eugene's son Herman Talmadge strolled up to enter and Ed refused to let him enter. After that they replaced him with someone who "could recognize the family".
He became a patrolman for the City of Marietta, and worked his way up to be the Chief of the Marietta Police (1949-1952). For a year or so he was a guard at Lockheed. Then he was the Chief of the Cobb County Police. Because of politics he left the county force and worked various jobs as a guard or law enforcer, which included the Kennesaw Police and a deputy of the Cobb County Sheriff's Department. In 1960, he ran with Buna Walker for the Sheriff's office, with Buna to be the Sheriff and Ed to be the chief deputy. They lost to Kermit Sanders (the incumbent). He was a armed truck guard for Wells Fargo when he retired.

Throughout his career as a policeman I have only heard of danger twice. Once he chased a suspect into an alley and the suspect turned around and pointed a gun at him and pulled the trigger - by some miracle it only clicked. Another time an angry arrestee slammed the barred jail door on his hand breaking it.

Little known fact: He had the talents of an artist. He could have been an illustrator or a cartoonist with a little training.

He was a great story teller to little children. He loved to sit a niece or nephew down close to him and tell him a long involved adventure story involving someone of their gender and age. The child would be completely absorbed in the tale that Ed weaved as he told it. Also, shortly before Christmas he would call his young nieces and nephews and tell them he was Santa with a hearty 'Ho Ho' and go over their list with them. He always looked very delighted when he hung up the phone.

He was a very gentle soft spoken man. I only heard him raise his voice once - and that was to our dog that would chase behind us in the car to town. That irritated him.

He didn't give religion a serous thought until he was in his fifties. Then he joined the Crestview Baptist Church and was saved. Then, a couple years later when they moved to west of Marietta he was a charter and active member of Due West Methodist Church.

He always wore plain dark dress pants and either a white dress shirt or a pale blue dress shirt. He never wore anything sporty like a shirt with a design, polo styled shirt or any kind of sport pants or shorts. It just wasn't him.

They lived in various parts of Marietta: Whitlock Avenue, East Dixie Avenue, Atlanta Street, Wayland Street, Manget Street, Richard Street, and Old Hickory Drive.

While we're writing about police, let's pay tribute to Ed Hunter a dedicated, honest officer of 50 years of service who died this week at 76.
Hunter was Cobb County Police chief under Commission Chairman Rholie Ward. When Ward went out of office, Hunter became Marietta police chief.
As county chief, Hunter was involved in an unforgettable incident. Thirty-five years ago, Cobb County was a dry county. If John Q. Citizen wanted a snort he had to "go to the river" to liquor stores in Fulton County along the Chattahoochee River.
But most private clubs in Cobb like the Elks, Legion, Moose, Marietta Country Club and at least two fashionable restaurants served liquor by the drink.
Hunter thought it hypocritical that his officers would arrest someone for having a scant of moonshine while liquor sales continued at private clubs.
So it wasn't surprising when Harvey Hester, the former Congressional Medal of Honor owner of Smyrna's Aunt Fanny's Cabin, rang up Hunter to ask him to arrest an employee who stole booze from the bar and stashed it away in the nearby woods.
Instead, Hunter sent a raiding party to Aunt Fanny's, booked Hester and confiscated a truck load of whiskey. Hunter didn't have a list of who not to arrest. If you violated the law, he arrested you.

Being lonely and out of town the Hunters invited them to spend Christmas with them, which he did, and it became a tradition for several years. He returned in 1990, to find things some what the same, house full of kids (now grandchildren instead of children), chicken and dumplings, and the holiday spirit with decorations.

Notes for JOHN STANLEY HUNTER:
Stanley was born in Marietta, Georgia, on Manget Street. In high school he was considered one of the top athletes of the time. He was captain of Marietta High School's football team in 1938.
Stanley was in the National Guards with his older brothers and went into the Army during World War II. He was in the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

Patrolman Ed Hunter, of the Marietta Police Department, has received from his brother, S/Sgt. John Stanley Hunter, a copy of orders that were read citing the 35th Division Inf., part in the Normandy Invasion.
The unit, according to the orders, attacked on 35 of the first 45 days of the invasion. It played a decisive part in the St. Lo Battle, overrunning key defense positions of the enemy.
The 35th spearheaded hand-to-hand fighting throughout the peninsula. Then it rushed through France often proceeding 100 miles a day in advance fighting, taking Cloyes, Chateaudun, and Orleans all in one day. Within a few days it captured 3,500 prisoners.
Sgt. Hunter, who attended Marietta High School, entered the service soon after graduation, and was assigned to the 35th in 1943, when it was training at Camp Rucker, Ala. The division entered Normandy June 5-6.

He was at one time a plain cloths detective for the City of Marietta Police Department. After that, he worked in the City's Electric Department. At one time he owned half of a service station of Powder Springs Street with his brother-in-law Jim Frasure. And then he worked for Lockheed in management until he retired. Now, he is a bailiff for the Courts.
They were very active members of the Maple Avenue Church in Marietta. Stanley's recipe for his famed peanut brittle is in the Cooking with Good Cooks from the Maple Avenue United Methodist Church (published 1988).
During their married life they have lived in various places in Marietta, mostly on the Westside, but have strayed twice north near Canton Road. Sarah now lives on Stewart Avenue in an older house that she and Stanley completely restored and remodeled.

A Dip in the 1954 Marietta Yellow Pages

Click on each set of pages to make them bigger and readable.

Here are some more 1954 Yellow Pages from the Marietta phone book.

The people that were in their formative years in the 1950s might find this very interesting… or boring.



On the above set of pages the 2nd category down is a category you will no longer see in the Yellow Pages: Adding Machines.

On the far right lower corner is an ad for Parkaire Field. Parkaire Field has been Parkaire Mall for at 35 years, probably more. Parkaire Field was an aviation field for small planes.

I remember a bunch of us teenagers visited Parkaire Field one time to see a certain pilot. The pilot very secretive took from each of us $5. He said if he got caught giving plane rides he would lose his pilot’s license. We all got into his plane, I think it was a piper cub, and we went flying over Marietta. It was a thrill to see the little cars moving on the little roads and the little houses.

It was my second time to fly in a plane. My uncle Herbert Hunter, about 10 years earlier owned a piper cub and jointly owned an airfield on Austell Road near Hurt Road. He had a near death plane wreck which almost crippled him which is probably the reason he gave it all up and took up boats and fishing.


A couple items of historical interest are on this page.

The top of the second column is an ad for Marietta Funeral Home that offered 24 hour ambulance service “for COLORED”; Then we lived in a segregated society, but there is little proof of that today.

Albert Dobbins Funeral Home and Mayes Ward Funeral Home were two separate businesses – that was before they consolidated..

In 1954 there was only one store listed in the Yellow Pages as an antique dealer. Antiquing presently is a big money turnover business in Cobb County. I would almost bet now there are more antique stores than restaurants. Also there are several big buildings that were once something else and now have booths or stalls with individuals hawking their antiques.

Only two apartment rental businesses are listed. Now, of course, with all the here-today, gone-tomorrow nomadic citizens there are much more apartments rental businesses.

On the right are a list of attorneys. Howell Ravan is listed. Howell Ravan went on to become a judge and also owned Marble Inn BBQ on the old Church Street Extension and Ravan’s BBQ on the 4-Lane.

Also Marietta’s own Boss Hog is listed: Harold Willingham.

Today I received my GEORGIA BACKROADS magazine in the mail. I flipped through it planning what I wanted to read first. There is an article about Georgia Child Labor about 1920 which looks like it will be good. By the way, Mary Phagan, was a child laborer at age 13 when she was raped and kill; there is an article how the Titanic disaster effected the small Georgian town Adrian; an article about Georgia reptiles – I think I’ll skip that one; Flannery O’Connor’s Andalusia Farm; Georgia’s Goodwill Ambassadors – an article about the Monroe Girl & Bugle Corps back in the ‘60s; a story about Pulitzer Prize-Winning Novelist Caroline Miller; WSB Radio in the old days; and an article about the Odyssey of Andre Steiner: Unsung Hero of Jekyll Island, which looks good too.

While I was flipping through the magazine I came across the above advertising waterfront lots at Juliette, Georgia. I had a sad feeling looking at the picture.

Juliette, Georgia, is just north of Macon.

My brother-in-law Tommy Prance help construct* Lake Juliette, which I think is probably the lake in the ad.

Later, while spending some recreation time at the lake he was swimming beside a friend that was rowing a boat. Their conversation was interrupted by Tommy making no response. The friend looked in the direction Tommy was at and he wasn’t there. That was July 2nd, 1988.

Tommy’s body surfaced about fifteen months later.

Life can completely alter itself and all those concerned in the middle of a sentence with no warning.

*Did you know there are no natural lakes in Georgia? They are all man-made.

We Were Young Once


click on any picture to enlarge it.

No one said we were young once. We didn’t have to. We all knew it. Because we all witnessed each other being in our formative years.

Now, we are old but we still have our memories of our youth, which we are willing to share and remind each other at our Tuesday late afternoon Good Old Boys meeting.


It is official now. We are something, I'm not sure what. We are on a roll with our addresses and email addresses, and we also tossed money into the kitty. But I do know we all grew up in Marietta at the same time.

Monty did an excellent job orchestrating the happening and making delicious chili, hotdogs, coleslaw, and homemade ice cream chilled with hot ice.*

Now, it time go be back being an old man with heart and cholesterol problems again.



*By the way, did you know you have to be of legal age to buy hot ice?

228. EVA BELL7 HUNTER (CHARLES JEFFERSON6, WILLIAM A.5 TRAMMELL/HUNTER, JASON HENDERSON4 HUNTER, JOHN3, WILLIAM2, SAMUEL1)98 was born 21 Aug 189598, and died 30 Jul 1973 in Beaver. . Pa98. She married J. HARVEY POOR98 25 Jun 1920 in , Fulton Co., Ga98, son of JAMES POOR and MARGIA MCCOLLUM. He was born 25 Mar 1896 in Holly Springs, , Ga98, and died 30 Jul 1969 in Aliquippa, , Pa98.

Notes for EVA BELL HUNTER:
I'm starting to do some research into my grandmother's family. Sadly many details are missing from the oral history that she was left with.
Her mother was Eva Bell Hunter (born 8/21/1895), who was the daughter of Charles Jefferson Hunter and Paralee Dobbs (who died when Eva was 2, so 1897/1898). My grandmother says that Eva had a brother that moved to Texas and was a dentist. I belive this person is the A.C. Hunter you mentioned in your blog last October.
Any information you could share with me regarding Charles Jefferson Hunter and his family, so that I can confirm or rule out this relation, would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
