Coffee Break #11: Ode To The Code
Here’s a little eulogy on the Comics Code Authority, founded in 1954 as a way for the comic industry to self-regulate its content. The code has been pretty pointless for years; Marvel abandoned it back in 2001, while DC just recently dropped it.
So, here’s the Hero Business version of the code. Maybe we’ll be seeing them again, ‘cuz this strip was a lot of fun (well, to me anyway).
Discussion (16) ¬
😀 was wondering when someone would touch on this.
Timely! I liked the dove…nice touch.
It’s actually the pigeon from Coffee Break #7: “Profit Signs” ; )
Pigeons are the Minions of Ultimate Evil. I choose to believe that this is, in fact, actually a dove.
😉
What no mustard on the hot dog?? lol
That second panel pose is fabulous. I feel like i’ve seen that same pose in like 70 different books. The iconic comic nude. Ha!
The Virtuous Code Authority has been using smoke machines for YEARS! Also, steam in showers. ; )
Yup even if said shower is COLD ….
Hilarious, Bill! This webcomic has been gold from the beginning!
I love this strip! Such classic comic book tricks…
I do have a question, though: when do you plan to start the new storyline? I can’t seem to find the post that said when.
Until then, enjoying the Coffee Breaks! 🙂
Ah, yes. We have about two more coffee breaks (maybe three), and then storyline #2 begins.
Love the use of a hotdog to hide his privates. That’s certainly… evocative. XD
I hate sequels. They’re never as good as the first book.
I have a tendency to say yes to a script or no to a script. Not yes based on a rewrite.
the kcker is for the lasrt 10 years of it’s life the CCA was literally just a sticker there was no acctul people working for the CCA since the 90’s
