Pinup of the Week: Amazing Stories June 1948

Amazing Stories 1948 June

I certainly am having fun making up captions for these pictures…

“Great news guys. Every single one of these icicles on this planet contains a beautiful girl! And with any luck, none of them will speak English!”

“Now Bernie, remember when we had that argument about what color you mean when you call someone ginger? THIS is ginger!”

“I don’t know… Maybe… Maybe somewhere on this planet lives a man so horrible that all these women’s hearts turned to ice and froze them like this, forever! Maybe that man is me. I’m not perfect. She does look a little familiar.”

Pinup of the Week: Dime Mystery May 1940

Dime Mystery 1940 05

Looks like one of the main goals of these red hooded secret society types in 1940 involved mummifying beautiful women. See here for a cover with almost the same subject. It took them four months to get her wrapped up, and it looks like Smith retired. His younger ex-pirate acolyte has taken the reins. Good luck to you, gentlemen.

Pinup of the Week: Ten Detective Aces May 1935

So many potential captions for this picture. The mind boggles:

“But Mr. Withers, when you suggested tying me up, I thought we were going to have a little fun!”

***

“Margorie! Why must I keep finding you in these situations?”

***

Professor Smith became certain that there was only one, last, desperate way to get his daughter out of… The Museum of DEATH!

***

“I’ll only tell you one more time! Don’t bother until you’re ready give me an honest apology.”

***

“My stars! There’s a cookie recipe written on the inside of this lid, and it looks great!”

Pinup of the Week: Spicy Mystery March 1942

The guy on the right looks uncertain. He’s like, “Last time we did this, you told me that the idol just needed one last sacrifice, and it would grant us three wishes. How can you be sure it’s going to work this time?”

His friend replies, “The last one wasn’t a redhead.”

Of course, we know it will make no difference. The guy on the right is a psychopath.

Pinup of the Week: 1967 Go Go Dancers

Dear reader,

Today you find your poor servant accursed! Ever since I laid eyes on the subjects of this eBay auction, I have been unable to think of anything else. I close my eyes and see the redhead. No! No! The blonde! But wait: The redhead has such a tantalizingly askew hat and striped socks. And a golden belt with chained loops. But wait! The blonde, she is dancing in rain-slicker-yellow Go Go boots, and that thing she’s doing with her shoulder. Augh! But the redhead, she’s doing the ’60s dance that’s half dog paddle, half “flip the bun”. RRRR RRRRR RRRRR. WROW! Yes. Yes, dear reader. No damsels in distress today, of all days, the Friday before Halloween. Alas, I can’t help myself. It was as if through a fever dream that I watched my hands as they took the original photo from the auction and used GIMP to straighten out the perspective and paint in the missing frame pieces with the clone tool.

A Haiku
Oh sleep calls to me.
Her sweet sleep and Go Go boots.
My poor broken heart.

I hope to recover from this soon.

The originals:
