Jim Kelly wanted to be traded to the Steelers

The Wizard Of Id.

 

I remember him on the Steelers, I just for some reason didn't know he played at Pitt, until now.

 

never.

 

The Wizard of Id was based around Freud

 

I love Hagar

 

Going back well over 60 years I couldn't wait until Sundays to get the Pittsburgh Press. My favorite comics were Beetle Bailey, the Family Circus, Brenda Starr, Joe Palooka and Terry and the Pirates. I read Brenda Starr because I thought she was hot.

 

Believe they Pearl and swine was 2000 start
realizing now comic strips faded for me quite a bit
damn

 

These post made my mind go immediately to Pistol Pete Maravich. He was born in Aliquippa. I remember the hype me and my young friends made up about him. He would dribble a BB while watching a movie and no one complained. We made him an idol when he played at LSU. Never followed him after College.

 

I would have followed Bettie and Veronica anywhere

 

I too get turned on by comic strip ladies. Blondie and daughter. The women of Lil Abner's were a favorite. I have not seen that comic strip for at least 40 years. My favorite homely girl is Agnes. I love her take on life. I think it depends on what comic strips the papers in your area carry. Going around the country I've run into strips I never heard of in the East.

I do enjoy certain comics. I found a site where I can go back 2 weeks before they ask for $$.

 

I can’t find my favorite so I’ll go from memory

Lucky Eddie at the bar orders some concoction that comes in a small cauldron bubbling over like a volcano and drinks it down, His eyes bug out, steam comes out of his ears, his hat blows off and he falls backwards on the floor.

Hagar looks down at him turns to the bartender and says “I’ll have the same”

 

Stupefyin' Jones in Lil Abner was the best. Julie Newmar played her in the movie. Julie was well over 6 feet tall but well worth the climb.

 

Of course there are a few around here who would have followed Jughead anywhere.

 

Look at those small hands swing.

 

I never heard about Kelly coming close to being a Steeler, but I was an older student at Pitt when Marino was drafted by Miami, and there were ugly rumors about him on campus. The Steelers took Gabe Rivera, whose career came to a tragic end.

 

I’ve said this before that when Miami drafted Marino I thought that was the worst possible place for Dan to go due to the heavy rumors of his cocaine use. Looking back though he met his future wife and they have a wonderful family from what I could tell. I think he would have won a SB for the Steelers though with the defense we had at the time.

Gabe Rivera was just a tragedy. RIP to him. Lived a rather long time in a wheel chair unfortunately.

 

Claude Humphrey dies at 77

 

Now I feel like Steel Machine in the Dad's Joke Thread. Claude Humphrey? Cause he was bowlegged?

Never mind - saw the ticker news at the bottom. Now almost 5 years gone.
