What a racist book.



Edit:
Ease up guys, hermeneutics man...

I liked it ...
Some dated stereotypes* ( both ethnic and racial ) but excellent illustrations.
And a good lesson to us all.
* That said , lets not judge a book from 1908 with "values" and "standards" from 2017.
We are a vastly different world.

I thought it was pretty clever, and don't think the author had any sinister aims (no pun intended) way back in 1908.

I remember that book...
But then the first game show I saw had "fire" as grand prize
And I was on the committee that named "Dirt"
Also I think I broke Moses's compass , hence the wandering for forty years...

Those were different times. What a cool book! I'd treasure something like that.

So wait, how bubbleguming powerful was that handgun?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

The revolver in the book is the little known handgun made by Johnny "Colt" Wesson Von Glockenluger.
It shoots the .600 RemachesterMarlin tyrannosaurus express Magnum.

Well, teflon, we could shoot a hole through a comic and see what the slug nicks along the way!

I'm kidding, it's a remarkable book!
