I looked all over my globe and couldn't find "Poverty". It it one of those countries that has since changed its name?

Odd, I've found poverty is easier to find than Anthrax in Babylon.

Unless the Anthrax in question happens to be blaring over the p.a. system of an M1A1.
Now that I've edited this post, this thread is deader than Lawrence of Arabia.

I think the basic concept was that if we ignored it long enough we'd win by natural attrition; unfortunately we failed to take into consideration a virtually unlimited number of new recruits on the other side.
Christmas ... a time when need is keenly felt. Thanks for the timely reminder Bong (sincerely). We're truly among the fortunate.
Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men.

Shipwreck!
I loved the freak brothers. I was calling my local head shop weekly back in '74 or so to ask if the new issue was in yet...

Until the Frak Bros, it never occured to me that somthing illustrated and published could actually be funny.
Gilbert Sheldon, like Crumb, moved to France about 10 years back where they are celebrities.
