Today in Comics History, October 12 (Let's Poke Fun at Columbus Day Special): The Absolutely True Diary of a Brooklyn Indian

Let's join America's favorite comic books characters as they travel through time and meet Christopher Columbus!

Now that Doc and Fatty are such major figures in DC's New 52, it's kinda fun to see where they got their start.

Columbus stole his ENTIRE look from the King of Clubs.

Stupid move, Doc. It's well-known that Native Americans HATE the Monopoly Guy on sight.

YES HE IS SWINDLING THE INDIANS OUT OF THEIR LAND. Well, at least it's historically accurate.

So technically, that's YESTERDAY in Comics History, but please allow me this one.

from the Doc and Fatty story "See America Foist!" in World's Finest Comics #41 (DC, July 1949), pencils and inks by Howard Sherman

What is it with goofy old DC time-travel stories involving Christopher Columbus and Ebbets Field?!?
