Actual magazine covers from men’s adventure publications. All are covers from various editions of Man’s Life, except the last which comes from True Men. I had to include that one because the heroes are being attacked by flying squirrels.
I think that disqualifies them from being true men, don’t you?
I’m sure these inspired Frank Zappa’s album, Weasels Ripped My Flesh.
Is that guy getting his ass kicked by otters?
From the writing on the cover I think they’re supposed to be weasels. Coming off second best to a pack of timber wolves is excusable; second best to a pack of weasels . . . I suspect it’s the sort of thing you keep on the downlow.
If these were more recent, there’d be jumping carp.
Go to Lileks for some evaluations of these “mens magazines “
I would, but he doesn’t index, so how could I find them.
What’s bad is I can remember those mags AND those covers.
I know I’ve seen them before, somewhere, and NOT in my house. Not, I think, at any barbershop, as well.
“Why Don’t They Just Stay Out Of The Water?”
Because empirically, over 50% of the time the water is where the hot chicks are.
And honestly if a man can’t handle hostile weasels, turtles or squirrels how is he going to handle rampaging beavers?
Thou hast nailed it!
