Frazz by Jef Mallett for January 12, 2015

History or biology lesson?

Now we’ll have to rewrite “Colonel Bogey’s March”.

Hitler was a militant vegetarian, thus the flatulence. The nutritional deficiencies didn’t help his anger management issues either.

I heard that Himmler had something similar.But what did Goebbels have?

C’est pas “au jus”?

noted. :) Peace.

I now know that the old children’s song (to the tune of “Whistle While You Work”) became corrupted through the years. It obviously should have been “Hitler was a jerk, Mussolini bit HIS weenie, and now it doesn’t work.” That makes so much more sense.

J Ba: Reality doe not separate into neat categories, but everything overlaps to some degree with everything else.

I’ll leave it to someone else to verify, but I recall that during the brief period when the Soviet archives were open after the dissolution of the USSR, the Russians admitted to having found Hitler’s partially burned corpse. In the autopsy they found he had an undescended testicle. I believe they cremated the remains and secretly scattered the ashes.

As to Colonel Bogey, this is the version I learned:

Hitler has only one big ball.Goering has two, but they are small.Himmler has three, he is queer you see,But Goebbels has no balls at all.

Knowing the lyrics is key to understanding the scene in “The Bridge on the River Kwai”.

“…come to grips with the problem of the Fuehrer’s testicles.”That’s as far as I got Night-Gaunt, and further than I wanted to get. Thanks man. : \

? with his wooden teeth?

pschearer – The only version I’ve ever heard goes:

Hitler, has only got one ballGoering, has two but very smallHimmler, is somewhat similarBut poor old Goebbels, has no balls, at all

This seems to have better rhythm and rhyming.

The best thing to come out of WWII was Kilroy.

I laugh with gleeI jump for joyI got hereBefore Kilroy

Bad cartoons & poetry but Kilroy was ubiquitous.

You really wrung the fun out of today’s strip!

Technojunkie, I believe Hitler was a vegetarian because of his digestive issues, not the other way around (i.e. he wasn’t a “militant” vegetarian, his stomach just couldn’t handle meat). I could be mistaken, but I haven’t got the patience to look it up (in a book OR on the internet).

“Sorry you are that way. Most of history is like that. Better toughen up or just skip it.”Just funnin’. ;^)

As Col. Blimp was the personification of the pompous military staff always fighting the previous war, Col. Boogy was the personification of morale in spite of recent setback (boogy in the golf meaning). The meaning was defiance.

“ADOLPH”?? Learn to spell!!
