"Sattelites! Bah!" Isn't it generally true that whoever uses the word "Bah" is destined for the wrong side of history?

Based on three popular episodes of "Wonderful World Of Disney", this Dell comic attempts to replicate the TV show's awesome spaceship model work, great Chesley Bonestell outer space paintings, and slightly creepy Werner Von Braun accent in comic book form.

Too bad it doesn't have the Ward Kimball funky animation too, but whatever.

We don't need those expensive microwave relay towers any more, so bring in the dynamite! Boom! Hey fellas we need to put up thousands of cell phone towers - weren't there a bunch of towers here a minute ago? (comedy 'waaah-waah' noise)

That's what I thought too! They could've used 'em as low-power repeaters for some network affiliate as well.

I also like that there's an Ice Age coming up this century, better get bundled up!

Okay, we can broadcast to the entire Earth simultaneously via satellite? We can reach all of humanity in an instant, bypassing borders, laws, and cultural barriers and bringing us all together as one? So we can finally achieve the ages-old dream of a united human race-- sitting in front of the idiot box watching "Happy Days."

*sigh* Apparently that was the plan all the long. I suppose the only things that wasn't expected was the additional cost and meaningless channels that showed up with it!

Good Stupid Comic this week!
