366 Days with J. Jonah Jameson, Day 107: Stop Me Before I ¢#@% Again
Admittedly I'm just a little six-year-old stuffed bull who doesn't know many cusswords beyond "darn" and "jeepers," but can you solve the Madlibbian mystery of just what the Sam Scratch is the swear that Jonah is saying here? Seems like any curse you could sub in there just winds up being even more bizarre.

ReplyDeleteTwo guesses: (1) It's a stand-in for "kick your a**" (2) It's supposed to indicate that Jonah breaks down into unintelligible ranting.
...pudding with nuts in it, obviously!
ReplyDeleteIn those days the Comics Code was so strict you couldn't even say "plotz".
