Religion In The Comics - 030 [View all]

Did you ever wonder why old comic books had to have two pages of text in them? It was a demand from the US Post Office. In order to apply for Second Class postage for subscriptions, all magazines had to have at least two pages of written content. Even the tax-free Catholics had to follow this rule. This story is from Volume 3 Number 10, July 1949.

This story has so much wrong in it, that I had to share. There are plenty of face-palming, eye-rolling, well-that's-why moments of pure incredulity that one can't help but be entertained. I think the writer went a bit far though with the line "worldly cousins".
