Harvey Comics led the pack in their devotion to devoting comic pages to ballyoo their charitable contributions and to deliver important public service announcements. Usually this meant badly halftoned photos of people in Casper costumes posing with frightened children or hillbilly clowns or lady vampires.



Casper shows his true feelings towards ballet. Luckily the retouch artist was able to add an extra finger to his salute.



Inbred hillbilly clown attempts to brush Casper's teeth and then attempts to bash Casper's brains out with a hammer, in a re-enactment of the brutal McGinley slayings that shocked the Midwest in 1962.



Don't forget to brush and floss daily kids! Remember when comics had PSAs about staying healthy, eating right, and getting plenty of exercise? Now comics are filled with ads for candy, salty fatty snacks, and videogames that encourage people to sit on their fat behinds. No wonder America's obesity rates are skyrocketing.



"Now I have my very own pencil!" How condescending can one comic book PSA get? Thank you, Westerners, for showing us backward Asians this wonderful writing instrument! We promise to never go Communist!



I don't think there's anything I can add to this one.



Ever wonder how Richie Rich's family got so rich? That's right, they sold GRIT, America's weekly family "newspaper", which is so agressively boring it makes THE READERS DIGEST look like PLAYBOY. Actually Richie's dad sold GRIT for a week, decided it was for the birds, and went into loan sharking instead.
