Look here (and scroll down) to see Bender and his grandfather. What do these robots do with the women they kidnap, anyway?

Great vintage stuff.

Nice.

What Airboy doesn't realize is that they've also filled the cockpit with badgers and peanut butter.

heh. Regarding "Good Girl" covers: "Good girl art is a category that transcends normal comic book genres. Humor, adventure, sci-fi and more have all featured good girl art. Good girl art is usually drawn in the pin up tradition. The scene might be risque for the time of publication. Prominent breasts (known as 'headlights') were the rule. Good girls were usually athletic, smart women who might fall into precarious positions."

So I guess this girl is significantly less good than this girl? Also, seeing all these covers together was so overwhelming that I really read this headline as "the Genius-Breasts".
