Not a comic book guy by any means, but I really liked these!

I was going to ding this for absence of Martian Manhunter, but he made it in the last one.

100% true: the best part of these is how you can see the panels from the opposite side of the page just barely showing through

Well the fact that Alan Scott is the GL pretty much firmly anchors it in JSA continuity, not JLA but I guess it's easier to market it as Justice League when most of your audience comes from the movie-going public.

He didn't actually called it Justice League Super Antics though right? That's just what ShooBoo titled the post. On his blog Callen himself just uses "Super Antics".

Except the Martian Manhunter didn't appear until 1955 and the Golden Age JSA disbanded in 1951. And Aquaman was never a member of the Golden Age JSA, not even an honorary member like Batman and Superman REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid the Martian Manhunter anomaly as some kind of time travel discrepancy, but the I decided that if Roy Thomas can retcon JSA history to make All-Star Squadron and Infinity Inc. work, then I can take a minor liberty and throw the JSA title at this group and call it a day.

Let us not forget Kerry Callen's What If DC Published Marvel Comics in the 1960s? (As seen in OP's first "Previously" - Galloping Guy Smiley!)

Absolutely. We can even be Super Real Life Friends! But I think we need to include Guy Smiley in the group as well.

These are great - I don't think I've come across Callen before. Thanks for posting.
Bonus points for the golden age Atom.

Jay 'Team Fortress Comix' Pinkerton did some Spiderman comic rewrites which are very funny if a bit politically risque in 2017

The Hostess Fruit Pie reference was a nice subtle touch.
