Election Day: And now, a public service announcement from Binky!

That is, if you are willing to take civic instructions from someone named 'Binky.'

"Binky's Special Election Exhibit" PSA, printed in DC Comics cover-dated November 1956, script by Jack Schiff (?), pencils and inks by Bob Oksner, letters by Ira Schnapp
Ladies and gentlemen and little stuffed beings, Binky is right! Get out there and vote today for the candidate of your choice! And if there's one thing that Binky knows about, it's choice!

Truth in advertising requires me to tell you that after this issue, Binky's comic was cancelled. Coincidence? READ THE BOOK.

I don't know what disturbs me more here; the literacy test requirement of the "Tot Lot."

Binky was awfully quick to reply with that "Neither am I". Should we be insulted that he assumes everyone reading is under 18 and/or a convicted felon?
