With Don da Con's administration using racist "dog whistles" to revive open racism in America...
...we're looking back at the last time such blatant stupidity went public, as Terry (Monty Python's Flying Circus) Gilliam and Dave Crossley present a never-reprinted satirical propaganda booklet which proves deeply-held con beliefs and comedy often read exactly the same, from Warren's HELP! #26 (1965), right after the Civil Rights Act was passed!
BTW, this was the final issue of the magazine, so the creatives felt they had nothing to lose and cut loose with everything they had!
The cover models are Elke Hellman and Gill Champion, with Terry Gilliam himself and Nicky Quest in the robes.
Gilliam is best-known as a writer-performer (and animator) in the Monty Python's Flying Circus ensemble, but also has numerous movie writing and directing credits including Brazil, Time Bandits, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas!
He was a writer/illustrator/designer/assistant editor for the last few issues of HELP!
It's frightening to see people currently-posting similar material on the internet...and believing it!
