Original Vintage Art & Text
Today’s art comes from Pin-Up Pete, a one-shot comic that collected many of the Pin-Up Pete pages that appeared in various early 1950s comics published by Toby. The feature was nominally about a soldier with the moniker “Pin-Up Pete” who told tales about his encounters with various vivacious fems. But, as you no-doubt guessed, it was mainly an excuse to post some pin-up drawings.
Because it may be hard to decipher the text in the original art, I’ve re-typed it below:
When the Earth is harder than a pawnbroker’s heart…when the icicles hang from a man’s nostrils like lace from a Spanish shawl…when the words freeze in a Marine’s throat before the first syllable is formed…
What’s to do about it?
Pin-up Pete has the answer. “Gather around yer Uncle Pete,” he calls out to his half frozen buddies, “an warm the cockles o’ yer hearts wit’ the hamburger-hot details o’ me adventures wit’ the opposite sex—-dames to you—-which make their livin’ doin’ men’s jobs in the daytime…but who, at night, is one hunnert percent female!!
